Why are you always involved in illegal businesses?
I figured out how to solve this difficult equation, dad:
Toe the line.
No geometry involved.
Sorry.
Though the pencil dulls,
keep figuring.
The math is always
about discovery.
But taking a crooked path
is still a mystery.
Excitement?
Boredom?
Intentionality
magnets pull us
into the stuff
that opens
uncertain doors.
