the math of her

the math
of her is complex.
taking
the chalk
into your hand
you scribble
on the board
and add
the weight
and age of her.
you place
an x and a y
where needed.
you divide by two,
placing
an equal
sign somewhere
close by.
you draw a pyramid.
a sphere.
a cone.
you figure out
the area of
each.
you take the square
root of
her and divide
it by her
moods. you pull out
an abacus
a slide rule,
a scale.
it's impossible
to figure her
out.
there are no
real numbers, no
answer that you
can safely rely
upon.
