why me? of all the subjects, why me? English, history, science, all ease with compliance why me? rough around the edges, blind to the simplicity why me? too mute to compute why math? least favored least flavored why math? English has nice hair, and even nicer finger nails fair skin, Polished rim to rim why math? why me?

Why Math?
why me? of all the subjects, why me? English, history, science, all ease with compliance why me? rough around the edges, blind to the simplicity why me? too mute to compute why math? least favored least flavored why math? English has nice hair, and even nicer finger nails fair skin, Polished rim to rim why math? why me?
This poem is deeply about comparison. The subjects are personified. Speaker places themselves into ‘Math’. Speaker wonders why someone would choose math as their favorite when english is also an option. Math = speaker English= the ex girlfriend of speakers current boyfriend there is a duality in the use of subjects, romantic subjects and school subjects. There is a lot of word play and double meanings i’ve imbedded in this poem. Let me know how you interpret it!
