Do you understand?
The jumbled numbers
and the foreign symbols
sit like extraterrestrial creatures
on the board. Staring, mocking.
Do you understand?
I go back to my
basic understanding
of simple mathematics.
The creatures begin to wince.
Do you understand?
Everything begins
to come together like
a solved puzzle.
The creatures no longer exist.
Do you understand?
