A DIVISION OF SORTS
Ryan Downey
I never was a fan of math I guess.
Never reveled in making cold calculations.
Though I suppose I could see the use
In making a few key subtractions
And maybe even one or two additions.
This is what he said to me as he sat
Cross-legged and cross-eyed staring at both of me.
The one that was coming and the one that was going.
And I said, nothing, because I was in fact not present.
So he continued saying, not only that
But I don’t particularly take kindly to geometry
All precision no excitement, no deviation,
And too much clarity.
I would have known he was right,
If not for the fact that I was floating on separate planes.
