English/Math

what if flowers were made of petals

and in them were infinite loops

of fractal mathematics we can’t comprehend

because we all majored in English

so we could write poems like this

so we could talk about world beauty

so we could miss the point entirely

 

but what if flowers were made of glass

and we cut our feet running through fields

just to bleed out the poetry we can’t write

because we all majored in math

so we could calculate sample sizes

so we could measure sunbeams

so we could numb our pounding hearts

This poem was very thought provoking, and very powerful at the same time. It shows your stance on the different subjects on school, I'm assuming, and shows the beauty of English as a language, and how it allows us all to communicate with art, rather than the less comprehensible mathematics. Very good :)
