What is her metric weight,
the dimensions of her hand,
the length of it
across your naked chest?

What is the density of her pelvic bone,
how much is the pressure, the force
hers is exerting on yours
and what is the way to measure
the gap between you?

Put down the numbers,
conversions, divisions
she does not understand
and count the hairs on her head,
the equations of you she has done
already.
