Suppose that x multiplies

within a singular human body

the desire for spangle, for lipstick.

Admit that coefficient xx

differentiates acutely from xy

within a tangent body,

also that yearning may be unquelled

by satin panties worn secretly

beneath the trousers.

Let xy fail if it must.

Consider the possibility of estrogened

flesh reducing under the beard,

primed for the extraction of roots

from a finite number of pores:

5 electric shocks times

40,000 follicles divided by 702 hours.

If this fraction's lowest term

is the radical reduction of that one

flap of flesh folded into body,

then tissue distributes the ratio

of curve below and above the waist

raising xy to its second power.

Assume the truth of these factors:

xy ² is not a product

of faulty computation,

a dominant x, or an absent y.

xy²  is unity:

the integral of androgen subtracted

and silicone added to the cheek.

Therefore, y must equal 1,

and this calculus, too, will hold:

xy ² equals xx.
