Poem: An Efficient Love

Perhaps it’s because he’s so
thin. That winter assaults his
very soul. Shiver by shiver,
he disappears everyday. She
kisses him constantly.

Her lips are chapped. His cheeks
are sore. But they’re in love,
and so feel compelled to show.

In the middle of a cuddle, he
abandons her for a book, “I
must figure out how we
can kiss Pareto Efficiently.”.

PS – This poem makes little sense. Sitting in class, my mind wanders somehow. Perhaps there is after all, immense poetry in Economics.
