Ah. What a week!

Geometry of Adolescence

 

Pushing at corners,

trying to force an out-sized circle

against laws of geometry

when it’s got no points to push

and its greased circumference

wants to slip through your hands,

wants to teach you a lesson

‘bout keeping circles with squares,

makes your eyes wide open staring

at a town full of circles, ovals, triangles,

anything but square-edged you,

its other energy on delicious display,

seeking comfort in unfamiliar ways,

worshiping your cringing confusion,

neglecting your mental contusions,

your gyros off-kilter

till your theorem’s dis-proven,

your hypothesis broken,

your square edges collapsed in despair.
