about

As if the shape of the infinity symbol isn't already incredibly elegant, the concept of infinity is so wonderfully poetic. What's not to love- something that isn't actually real but represents forever, numerically?

I thought about how, if it were personified, it would be lonely, never changing, never being approached.

And there you have it. Infinity. The stuff of dreams...

lyrics

Oh infinity
Do you ever weep?
Oh infinity
Never mine to keep

I love you like infinity
Never fully mine
Oh infinity
Forever gone in time

We talk about infinity like it’s somewhere we’ll reach
Like we can hold it if we just keep our minds open
Sit patiently like good little children waiting on dessert

We talk about infinity like a number
Forgetting it is a state
Forgetting it is our mere mortal way
Of numerically expressing forever

A brass globe
Bigger than the sun
Ground to dust by the wing of a dove
That flies only once a millennium

It seems so lonely
To never change
Cut down, it remains the same
Unmarked by tragedy
Even doubled, it never grows
Never weeps
Never loves
Never smiles

Untwist it, though
And it looks like nothing
There is honesty in zero
The zero is what we were before birth
The zero is what we will be again

But we will never be infinity
Our small minds cannot even grasp its meaning

So we step to it gingerly
With fire pokers
With limits to approach it
But no one really gets there

And look at our silly little lives
Infinity is just a collection of these small moments
Of endless days
Of years
Of lifetimes
Of other infinities

We talk about infinity like it’s somewhere we’ll reach

about

Iambic Beats Los Angeles, California

We have so many titles. A few of mine are: scientist, poet, writer, singer, mom. I like to think I live at the intersection of music and words and always asking questions. A goddamn lovely place to be.
