Geometry Class
Poem
Anonymous
Yesterday, some visitors
interrupted geometry class -
angry voices raged around the room,
unwilling to stay caged within my head,
while I spoke pleasantly
of axioms of incidence,
placements of parallels,
numbers of degrees
in the angles of rectangles.
Wake up. This is not difficult -
no hungry mouths to feed, no
bleeding wounds to heal. Adopt
a polygonal attitude. Examine
an assumption. Abandon the postulate
that says, don't ever question.
You were not born knowing.
Your mind won't get dirty
on a tangent of hyperbolic thought.
