long wait

long wait

for infinity to end



might as well wait

for her mind

to change

or for your heart

to choose another,

for your mother

to stop loving you



better to accept

what will not change

as fixed,

the rotation of the Earth,

the tilt of its axis,

things that can be tested

and measured,

meeting the standards

of infallible science



yet there will always be anomalies,

those places where the Universe bends

such that 1+1=3,

where infinity ends,

and heart’s mend,

our love, a hypothesis

that has been proven correct
