Dividing by Zero

Stretching boundaries

I push the limits

because people say it’s impossible

Not for me

I’m a rebel

 

Confinement is a thing to be fought

vanquished

illusions of rules that don’t need

to be there

Gone

let disillusionment fall

 

The glass ceiling needs

to shatter

spiderwebbing cracks

criss-crossing crinkling

pieces falling out

 

Impossibility is infinity

a thing defined but doesn’t exist

except for when we are told

it does

 

The only impossibilities

are the ones we allow

Dividing by zero is undefined

not impossible
