What else would trigger

my mental siren in this whole

wide world,

certainly not the thrills of words,

or shakespeare's eloquence,

surely not electrons

and their swim around orbitals,

certainly not biology

but math,

now, this is a sinister curse

on the world

Time after time,

I find my understanding

being beaten up by

the gigantic numbers,

calculus is even a catalyst

of this mesmerized demolision,

this is the only time

I am sad to be surprised,

MATH!

Sometimes I just think

the tutor is speaking Greek,

I'm lost,

in the Bay of all these fiendish numbers,

well I know

it is a riddle,

but this subject

has plunged the whole world into academic turmoil,

someone save me!

and the future!
