Basic Math


The teacher
once looked straight at me
in slight resemblance
of a preacher

now, tell me
what is 1 + 1?
I stared in blunt surprise
and soon the answer found...

now, she did stare
her earnest face
was baffled
by the girl's response

and tell me now
how this can be
she said, in quiet gaiety

OK, I said
with chalk in hand
I made a pile of sand
and then I made another one
while briskly turning head...

now, pay attention
class and Miss
I won't repeat the deed...
When piles of sand
together come
they do unite - make 1!
