FRACTIONALITY

     Whole life 
  -----only----- 
    half lived 
  
    Parceled out 
  ----pieces---- 
      of me 
  
      I reduce  
  -----lowest----- 
  common denominator 
  
       I am 
  ---improperly---
     top heavy 
  
     Divided by 
  ---numerating---
       duties 
  
     Attempts to 
  ----multiply---- 
     cross out 
  
     Result in 
  ----wrong---- 
     answers 
  
     What is 
  ----left---- 
     but this 
  
     Half life 
  ----to be---- 
    whole lived
