Formulaic
This isn't a math lecture, so can I drop this set of mind?
This isn't plug-and-chug nor is it set theory notation;
I cannot type my soul into a calculator and expect a rational answer;
I cannot solve a system with a variable for my every doubt;
This isn't a one-to-one function or a linear equation;
Not every x-value has only one y.
This isn't a computer program, so can I drop this set of mind?
This isn't a recursive computation or an array initialization;
For while I think like this I cannot break free from this loop;
I don't need a semicolon, the code won't crash;
This isn't an assignment operation or an object declaration;
There are no syntax errors here.
This isn't a physics lab, so can I drop this set of mind?
This isn't a hypothesis, nor is it a chemical equation;
I have only one trial, nothing here is in control;
I need not discard insignificant thoughts, insignificant figures;
This isn't protein synthesis or ATP formation;
This is nothing but abstract.
This isn't objective;
This isn't formulaic;
This isn't who I am;
So can I drop this set of mind?
