boys class math while the girls played volleyball

what was
the value of x,
this y, this z,
this
ab squared.
what were these
numbers
and letters
between the equal
sign, for what purpose
did we divide
and then multiply.
and dear lord
what about Pi?
what was
the square
roots of our young
and 
questioning
lives?
poor Mr. Reber at
the chalkboard,
trying so
hard to teach our
girl distracted
minds,
while they lunged
at the volleyball
outside.
