Numbers
I’m sorry numbers
About the fifth-grade anxiety
Never getting you right
Never understanding
A fraction of terror
Cringing at fractions
And decimal point equations
Math races at the chalkboard
And the pit-of-my-stomach regret
On having a good friend
Who went on to become
A mathematician and professor
At a major university.
