Find an unordered pair of natural numbers a, b such that ab(a + b)
is not divisible by 7, but (a + b)7 − (a7 + b7) is divisible by 77.

Find one pair of positive integers a, b such that ab(a + b)
is not divisible by holy perfection, but (a + b)joy − (ajoy + bjoy)
is divisible by total bliss.
Source: A loving man’s soul, 2000

Find one pair of positive integers a loving man, a beat boy such
that their love · their viewers
will never abide by holy perfection, but the viewers’
joy without the boys’ joy equals total bliss.
Source: America, 2015

Find our two boys crying tears of blood who lie
at white horizons waiting for justice. who reel their bodies
to marry each other. who lost their hopes
of a blissful life because we thought
perfection = man(1 + wo)
