Synthetic Division

Two people.
Wanting to be in each other.

When two people don't divide evenly into each other what do you do with the remainder?
Are we supposed to fit perfectly into each other?

Or is the love in the remainder,
the remainder that we stash away for the prospect of the unforeseen, like the savings account we keep as an insurance for an uncertain future or as a hope for a getaway from the routine,
is the love in the remainder that allows us to keep on living, feeding off of the fantasy of someone new to divide into yet again?!

We are creatures of habit. But it is the exceptions, the bold adventures that resonate with the mundane machinery of a predictable system, that bequeath us fresh air to keep on breathing.

Let’s divide into each other and let’s remain.
