SCIENCE AND POETRY
by Tonya Maria Matthews
She is an algebra project with a haiku punchline.
Metaphysics is not a real science
but its mastery is the only thing
that keeps her from exploding all over you
like an atomic bomb
acid raining on your parade
fucking up your syllables
Been my best friend
for years
betrayed me more than once
so I feel no qualm
warning you
true. she has her moments
But you got to approach a sister that smooth
on a parabolic curve
and you, my friend, are a straight line
neither Pablo nor Pythagoras would approve
