Consider the idea of quantity being about division – taking one thing and making it into smaller parts. And quality being about multiplication – taking two smaller things and combining them into one new, larger, the-whole-is-more-complex-than-its-parts thing.

And by "I" I mean my intellect,
my thoughts, my creative mind,
my focus on the future.
I do not mean my body is for you,
because I cannot speak for her,
as my body speaks for herself,
sometimes clumsily
sometimes elegantly
sometimes weakly,
sometimes with great strength
and always most independently
and wordlessly.
I also do not mean my heart is for you,
because my heart has already been bequeathed,
entrusted to her beloved DPM
for as long as she beats.
So
My thoughts are for you.
And by "you" I mean the world
and all it's living beings,
great and small
ugly and beautiful
simple and complex.
So
My thinking is for all life.
My body is for herself.
And my heart is for my love.
