(x, y)...or (a, b)

You write down your equation for Love,
and I'll scribble mine down too.
With luck, we'll have used the same variables...
and I'm hoping you've stuck to just two.
Otherwise, we may both be to blame
for the loss of precious seconds in the game,
spent squabbling o'er a and b
versus x and y, or y and zee;
and the need to introduce a third equation!
Oh, suddenly maths is interesting?!
But clear your mind of thoughts extraneous -
we must make our next efforts simultaneous.
Still, one of us may figure out first,
that this pairing has no point in common -
not any!
Though there may be an infinite many...
we may find we're completely in line
(Your equation just looks different from mine).
But perhaps there's one glorious point
of intersection,
where my soul and yours coincide,
in perfection...

About this poem:
A new take on solving simultaneous equations in two (not three) variables...written when I really ought to have been doing my maths assignment!

The sine of the angle of the dangle is proportional to the rate of the flood of the blood...(I did maths too, although it was a long time ago)...cheers
