luck be a lady
Good morning Loretta, don’t you ever tire of the same facial
expression, lifeless plastic doll, oh but I see you do have some brand new
snakes in your hair, how shall I uncount them, let me unlove the ways, math
disability, yes ma’am today we talk about whole
fuckin numbers, one through Q.
Algebra one or Psychotic tendencies, is there a difference?
Well, alls I know is one of them is not about me, I rest my
case.
High School Drop-out meet Community College, no, wait, first
go get First Class
FCC Radio-Telephone Engineer’s License, where the hell did that
come
from, I musta had a better brain back then, before all the tangled snakes
moved in; I remember a world from long ago world:
Ohm’s Law, Root-Means-Square, Capacitors, Resistance,
Sine(feld) waves (shalom!), oscilloscopes, stepping on
crosstown
buses with a headfull of schematics, typical woman,
shit-fer-brains, can I
get a transformer please, er, excuse me, I mean transfer?
Here today, gone today, logic out, psychosis in, someone should
have mentioned
that before I traumatized the community college, oh no you
don’t, not letting in no
retards with a fifth grade educated math level, financial
aide, all of it every penny
goes to remedial math, that was my time in college y’all,
same math classes 5
years straight.
Department Head:
I don’t get this at all.
How did you answer all these advanced problems correct when
you failed all the steps that prepare you to comprehend these same higher level
problems? It doesn’t make sense, bizarre, he says, your
thought processes are bizarre, oh now trouble, enough of that, go wash your
face in cold water, pull yourself together, it’s only math, it’s not the end of
the world.
It’s only symbols, symbols only I can see that just so happen
to be all about
me,
neighbor has car on blocks, is working under hood, nope, car
is me, every day
I take myself apart and wait for some neighbor to put me back
together, here’s
what I get from lover who will sit at breakfast table, read
newspaper and drink coffee with me in companionable silence:
proof that the world does not revolve around me
I don’t get this at all.
Don’t tell me there’s big huge geographical areas filled with people and times he’s
reading about, and every one of these places ruled by little rectangular squares
of dyed green paper, nothing but economics from land to land, but let him
read the news if it makes him feel secure.
So, um, you wanna re-calibrate my gyroscope, you any good with numbers?
1-2-3-4 nowiwannasniffsomegluenowiwannahavesomethingtodoallthekidswanna
etc/ect
Hey Mr. mathman-fibonacci-logician, I’ve got your number, your new lucky number:
0
Zero, as in whole fuckin Loretta in all her glorious worlds.
And what, you ask is this to you?
The next nothing nowhere for me to crawl out of.
