the math club outing

in the snow
you see them playing
Frisbee
golf at the edge
of the state
park. the math
team
against the science
club
from the local
high school.
red faced
with horn rimmed
glasses.
laughing
hysterically at
one another
in their boots
and overcoats,
hunter hats
and gloves.
measuring distance
and angles
with slide
rules and equations.
taking note
of the wind
and barometric
pressure. there
are no girls
around, but in
time, the world
will be theirs.
