Infinity

There's only one way to measure the infinite.

Infinity

Infinity isn’t inexplicable, the young boy affirmed

He sought it in his infatuations

          To the action figures he played with

          To the girls he shyly chased

He sought it in the satisfaction he garnered

          From the degrees he laminated on his wall

          From the green paper he received at each month end

He sought it in the pleasure he pursued

          Of hot kisses on cold hearts

          Of herbal highs and synthetic smiles

He sought it in the fulfillment he experienced

          In the arms of his soulmate

          In the inhaled vitality of meditation

But it all felt short

          Of the only infinity there ever was or will be

          Of the altruistic love of his mother
