"Invalid"
Don't ask me how I'm doing
I've swept my answer underneath the proverbial rug
Accuse me of denial
It does not sound false to me anyway
I won't lie but neither would I reply
I'd simply shrug and leave you hanging
Hacking through your own thoughts
Trying to find the rational conclusion to the tangled mystery that is I
When it's just as simple as realizing how compatible "me" and "wrong" are
So can we leave it at, "I'm doing fine" and you just nod with a smile
And proceed to talk about trivial things
Like devising another proof to Fermat's last theorem?
It has a better chance of getting done
Than you making equations of me and me disproving you
The here and now do not exist despite what physics says
Do me a favor and don't waste your time
I'm already splurging on mine
