A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

totaled

 

 

 

bits of bits of bits

of reminders

of remainders

 

of a quotient

unidentified in spatial realm

I knew you once

could figure out the equation

 

but the divider came

the product

of issues multiplied

a bevy of numbers that refused 

to come out even

 

remainders

that were reminders

of my bad math

when it came to love.

I was hoping it was not a bad mouth which she did not bad mouth you, but it turned out to be simple bad math. Wow! You are using Arithmetic now sir Jacob

Oh my! Those remainders! The equations seemed so right. We added, subtracted, and did all the proper functions, in the proper order and yet. Those damn remainders or were they reminders?
Take care - Dave
