![]() Geometry of AdolescenceA Poem by David P. Eckert![]() 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. © 2008 David P.
