x.


I don't need to know the value of x.

x won't pay my bills.

x won't take care of children.

x won't take care of my parents.

x won't get me a job.

You want me to know the value of x,

when it has no value.

x is sitting in an hour lecture learning about Bach.

x is reading an English novel.

x is the difference of 5 and 12.

x is...nothing.

x doesn't matter.

So why is it so importatn to you all,

when it's worthless?
