I Hate Maths

I am exhausted with counting one to three

forever counting one to infinity

I’ve found a million reasons 

for me to stop, one million 

reasons I’ve forgot,

cracking the code of a lifetime

two more digits then I’m done

I’ve carried the four with the six

multiplied three point two plus one 

to find I’m back where I begun,

Pi’s got me caught in degrees,

entangled in the symmetry 

of the isosceles, 

it’s the same bloody lines

over and over again, 

I have a cross drawn

between a square 

and a hexagon,

digits & fractions 

calculus distractions 

I subtract in my head

use my fingers to add,

wrist watch calculators

were such a fad.

there are neither 

two sides to a circle

or one side to a square,

this cube holds 

relation to foundation

according to every calculation

pre-calculus

sets, logic, proofs

trigonometry

numbers and symbols   

I can’t abide this antagonization 

on a subject that has 

no real-world application
