Sitting in wooden tables of four
Solving x + y = 16
Math problems were my biggest problem
Your curious smirk captures my eye
Curves into soft corners, pulling
Me in, I like
figuring out the puzzle between us
You scribble a flurry
of question marks across my blank page:
Small marks, big marks, curly marks
Asking my heart to reply
Your frenzied laughter
Chases me in dizzying circles, pushing me closer
To the solution. But finding it means
We move onto the next question:
I wonder what puzzles are in your life now
Do you like math?
Because algebra thrills me, it
Brings me back to your question mark
