Equations – A Poem
I write poems in my stats notebook
Numbers become words
Words become numbers.
Equations litter my page in stanzas
The addition of a word to the expression
Balancing the sides
Equalifies.
I am illiterate at math
I can’t make sense of the
Letters, numbers, symbols
I understand in words.
The rules of grammar are my first language
They speak to me.
I argue with the rules of math
I don’t understand when, what, where, and why.
The mathematical central limit theorem
Is beyond the limits of my mind
But my limit for poetry.
This poem. Is boundless.
There is a gap at the x value c
Of my poetry
The limit does not exist.
