Calibration

TJB 1989 (MA)



As I try to calibrate pieces of my mind
Subsets synchronize
In addition or an average, the total isn't whole
It's a code written by many
Same language, but different tones
An imbalance in the formula
Yet somehow it still runs
Conflicting protocols somehow running in tandem
The same conflicts taking their toll somewhere unrelated
Doctors supply new formulas
Inserted orally to break down
Portions gain equilibrium
Now others are closed up
It's never enough
The constant churning of data weathers everything
A decline that takes us where we need
Somewhere we never want to accept
However, before all function fails
The perfect balance is achieved
And the solution of the equation was unneeded to be found
