well

i am the remainder of your equation. of no true value, and no need. but i'm there. always, every time. ignored and constantly divided up. just set aside, maybe you'll get back to me providing your problem calls for it. no matter any factors, i am there. of multiple values each time. i could be valueless, but i am still there, unseen. but always, i have a limit; i can never be greater than your original value. never. if that ever happens, there was an error in your calculation. so i'm there at the end of the problem, never failing, your remainder. oh and so undesirable. wouldn't it be convenient if i were to just bottom out and let everything else be even. just to let me stand there invisible, silently watching and waiting for the next one to come. remaining.





excuse me, why do you keep looking at me like you know me? tell me, can you see into my eyes? or does your stare just tend to drift into my general direction. but your blank eyes look so full when they meet mine.
of course, your glances mean nothing.
come on and move me.
