From song to poem to equation

Two Minds

I have two minds to think,

and four minds to dream

and twenty-seven for interpreting.

Don’t call me two-faced ,

I have at least thirty three

and eighty-eight more are always plaguing me,

but my motives are pure,

or was that purely defiled,

simplistically complicated,

have I yet you beguiled?

If I were anymore, more clear,

you’d see right through me.

You don’t listen and you hear,

only what your eyes want you to see.

‘Cuz you have half a mind to think,

and the same half to dream,

and in order to interpret,

you divide that half by three

you only have one face,

but that one face can’t see

and the blindness you create is plaguing me.

‘cuz I have two minds to think,

and four minds to dream,

and twenty-seven for interpreting.

Don’t call me two-faced,

I have at least thirty three

and eighty-eight more are always plaguing me.

One To One

2+4+27=33

33+88= 121
