Is this artificial merry go round necessary?
When a plus sign can kiss a numeral
As a multiplier unties a bolt
In arithmetic complexities
To free the confusion of a neuro zero
Can’t laughter seduce formulas
As interests are nursed out of their scare holes
When you, who profess great arithematism, hold your marker
And stand before me to enlighten?
II
You can chase like a haunter
Hammer formulas like a carpenter
Promise the heavens like all politicians
None will enter the gates of this head
If its stairs are not cleaned
Its bolts are not oiled
Its handles are not tickled
By the interests of the guard who stands on guard

Reminds me a bit of trying to help my son with his algebra homework…and failing miserably!
