Weapons of Math Destruction

Place a +
in there, all devil
-may-care, and you’ll add
a little sumthin’.

How many x
does it take to multiply
the love we break
to nothin’?

Give a –
some room, and
boom!you’ll subtract
the things we need
to minus.

All things being =,
it’s really our words
that constantly
¸ us.

  5. Such a fun poem. I’m challenged at math, to say the “least, ” so perhaps I appreciate this one the most.
