Chemistry Equations & Geometric Theorems

     feels like just yesterday we were wandering these hallwaysnow it’s today

[it would appear we’ve never left]

it’s a time warp,

I swear. algebra? well,

if x=me & y=school then *xy=surreal*

[just call me confused.discombobulated.&&bewildered] this doesn’t seem

like my life

& yet

it has the distinct illusion of belonging to me.

I forgot how heavy the weight of pressure

feels on my shoulders.

[sorry, I can’t afford

a whole new wardrobe]

that’s right:

same clothes as last year

the first week isn’t even over with

[n’est pas fini]

& I’m already drowning in chemistry equations & geometric theorems.
