Solving for X

Living in the known world
there is much left to discover
that no one talks about
because it is assumed
we have removed the
quantity of X that needs
to be solved for

Think of the world
from the perspective
of a child and you can see
that there is still much left
unknown

Watching the waves
from the sand
I can only imagine
what awaits mere feet
from where I stand

47

This is my answer
This is the number
        that solves for X
What was the question
I never asked
I know the answer
I know what I mean
I mean what I know
Tattoo it on my arms
Never wish to forget
Unchanging 
Number without mystery
Simple statement of fact
Forty-Seven is only
Forty-Seven
Never more
Never less
Answer unto itself
