The nearer we got together,
the further we were apart
This went on for ever
And now I have no heart
He went ever higher
I went ever down
He said he was a liar
Yet he never clowned
We went on forever
Reaching for the line
Now I know we’ll never
Ever be entwined
Zero came between us
We could not get through
Infinite the problems
Zero solved for you.
I saw the line beside me
But I ran on down
You must not deride me
Though you are a clown
Frozen in equations
Beauty is entrapped
Icy are the regions
Where my heart was mapped
Cold and austere presence
Alpine supergrass
No-one calls it pleasant
But the beauty lasts.
How my heart sings
