A mere¹ eyelid's distance between you and me.

    It took us a long time to discover the number zero.

    John's brother is afraid to go outside.

    He claims he knows the meaning of zero.

    I want to kiss you.

    A mathematician² once told me you can add infinity³ to infinity.

    There is a zero vector， which starts and ends at the same place，

    its force and movement impossible to record with rays or maps or words.

    It intersects yet runs parallel with all others.

    A young man I know wants me to prove the zero vector exists.

    I tell him I can't，

    but nothing in my world makes sense without it.
