I dedicate a vivid hue

The problem posed:
If xy - 1 = 0, then y=
A) -1/x
B) 0
C) 1/x
D) 1
E) x

Math(you) has/have never been my strong suit,
my forte diminished to synthetic nightmares
coursing through fanatical dreams.
Cyclical words and lack of action.
I vote for D or E,
and it's a fragment of a wish that
still dangles from my frontal lobe.
This mess of mathematical unlikelihood
would be exponentially easier
(our unspoken balance, faltering firepops, integers to syllables)
if you were here.
