Maybe we did need to learn math, \u00a0
for a reason…\u00a0
\u00a0
as how then do we propose to care\u00a0
about the world\u00a0
that seems determined \u00a0
to set its sights\u00a0
upon the \u00a0
brutish, brash image of\u00a0
division\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
where the much determined\u00a0
divisives\u00a0
differentiate themselves\u00a0
by louder than \u00a0
bravado\u00a0
multiplying volatility\u00a0
armoured in unofficial intelligence \u00a0
unfounded claims and\u00a0\u00a0
functional illiteracy\u00a0
while (un)knowingly draping contemptable symbols\u00a0
across their chests\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
how do we
avoid just closing our doors and
shuttering our curtains
wait out the flurry of right-winged locusts
come to devour all good common sense and
caring for our fellow (hu)man <\/p>\n\n\n\n
