The Mathematics Of The Mating Game ... As Questioned By JB

________________________________________________________________________________________________

To what extent might human relationships

be expressed in a mathematical

or logical formula...

What signs might be placed

between the integers?

Plus and minus, self-evidently;

sometimes multiplication

and yes: division.

But these signs are limited.

Thus an entirely failed relationship

might be expressed in loss/minus

and division/reduction,

showing a total zero.

Whereas, an entirely successful one

can be represented by both

addition and multiplication.

But what of most relationships?

Do they not require to be expressed

in notations which are logically insoluble?

Julian Barnes

The Sense of an Ending

of this edition

Reverse Order

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Youth is about acting before thinking.

Adulthood is thinking before acting.

Youth dances with delusions.

Maturity cuts in on that dance

and changes the music.

Adulthood is about denying

what once made you happy

and not stepping on

your own two feet.

But not always.

Thankfully.

Paul Oliverio

(1998)

Our Shining Son ... Caramelo CarPeo Is An Octo-Millionaire

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Our chimerical offspring is no pinball wizard

but he has a Ph.D in Puzzelocity.

Our child was born in Avatar Alley.

Caramelo has amassed considerable wealth,
if such a thing can be measured

in the coinage of conundrums:
the points given for puzzle-solving.

He presently has 8,316,892 points.

Nicknamed "Taffy," the CarPeo by-product
has two heroes: Blake Griffin and Mike Trout.

We might take him to a Los Angeles Clipper
basketball game this Saturday to celebrate
his Grandfather's 101st birthday.

His Grandfather was no chimera!

"Leaving the toilet seat up
is definitely cause for justifiable anger."

"Justifiable anger: maybe.
But definitely not justifiable homicide."

"What are you talking about?
If I was feeling homicidal, I would have
used a sledge hammer instead of
a ball peen hammer."

"True...and you only boxed
one of my ears, not both."

"So are you going to apologize
for calling me homicidal?"

"I'm sorry, dear. As long as
you have a hammer in your hand,
I will apologize to you twenty-four/seven."

"You are forgiven."
