PAD Challenge Day 12: Two-for-Tuesday: Write a counting poem and/or a not counting
poem.
Black Woman Arithmetic
I’m far off from being a basic black
and another statistic in America.
My summation never counted
on the perimeters of you squares.
Your order of operations and formulas
never added up fair.
They can’t compare to the
greatest triangle of all time.
The Father + The Son + The Holy Ghost =The r of my circle of life.
It’s a complete trip to see
I remained 90 degrees
in such an acute and obtuse world.
I even gave more than 180
in every 360 to beat the
odds of stereotypes.
I’m quite the hypotenuse, huh?
Adjacent to all the opposite
thoughts you thought I would be,
times times and half of a time.
All while my so-called village
designed division to x me out.
And I still can’t tell you y,
they constantly want to simplify
a black woman like me.
TI-84 Plus CE
I wish I could press
On just to go off
on the plus sign
I wish I could
scientifically log in
my blessings,
graph them vibrantly,
but they are too exponential
for an LCD screen
