Free Write, Week 9

This free write is made up of things I observed while I had to give the PSAT in a math classroom. I thought it would be an interesting exercise.


Geometry Bugs

Odd numbers and symbols decorate
the geometry classroom. Sponge bob
on graph paper looks past my
inadequacies as a teacher, and as a
person. Fundamental segments of life
displayed, once forgotten as Algebra
takes hold. Spray-painted Styrofoam jumps
off the wall on unsuspecting prey.

Division amongst trusting ninjas give way
to the misery of math. The zebra-beetle
laughs and looks forward to seeing you tomorrow.
