the asian boy in togo (2001)

diligently he works on the Equation
which puts his identity into question:
"who am I?" he asks,
when solving the left side
of the Equation.

yet he continues to press on.
never stopping for more than a millisecond.
he is pragmatic. his capital awaits.
it waits for the Equation's solution,
with his own eternally unsolved.

the world embraces such unfinished Equations.
we are dominated by a Man who has never solved
the right side.

fallacious equality, superficial rewards.
the cost of unfinished Equations.

the asian boy here in togo is pragmatic.
he learns early how to solve the left,
leaving the right side for fools.
