My math teacher tells me that quadratic equations are
Parabolas in disguise.

Like somehow letters and numbers over more letters and numbers
Can somehow be translated or as the case may be transliterated into the
Delicate sloping roman arch
Of a grid locked and grid defying line
Reserved for infinity and Monet's bridges.

So if one were to tell another that
This is what they could do,
And it would somehow make something that could support everything,
Would it be a lie?

Because
If you plot the x's and b's in the right way on a piece of paper
You could make it work, the parabola and things will be right again.

But then
Who has the time to plot each individual point on the parabola, an infinite number of points?
And who has the time, once the plotting is finished in it's neat little row, to take a pencil and a couple of years, and connect the dots?

It is poetry. It's in the poetry forum.

Nice poem.

So much more to see and do, and hopefully it's all with you. ♥

I love this, I've been thinking about it for a few days. MOVE TO THE INTELLECTUAL FORUM.

Very nice poetry Nora. I applaud you.

(I hate this length requirement thing in the Intellectual Forum. Sometimes you don't NEED it. )

We used to laugh a lot
but only because we thought
that everything good always would remain.

I am a deep believer in the poetry of graphed functions; I approve of this poem.
