math

maybe that's why I hate math so much

because i have spent so much of my time

with

numbers being

drilled into

my head

and

showing on my

hips

or falling off of my

rib

s

because I know

how many calories are in each item of my fridge

better than the backs of my hands

and the lines carved into

my

thighs

like tally marks
