SPWM Day 6: love poem from a nerd to his girlfriend

prompt 1: write a lipogram (i.e. a poem that does not use a particular letter of the alphabet. prompt 2: write a poem that challenges a rule, a law, a habit, a form, a subject, a theme, a mindset: or as many of these as you can.

no, listen to me, i am not about to talk to you about mathematics. look at me. i am not made up of theories. i am not going to evaluate your face with the golden ratio: phi is not everything. genetics did not consider that the antihelix of your ear was not in accordance with the fibonacci sequence; nobody is going to measure the depth of your collarbones or the gradient of the curve of your breasts. you do not need that three centimetres of space between your thighs - place more space between you and conformation to what society expects of you. the solution is not to substitute your skin with another, but to be who your mother gave birth to: a life, not an equation.
