Fun with math, sort of…

lines and curves

a calculus of love
in which our two desires
are plotted on satin sheets
we derive
and integrate
and involve some imagination
in the interplay of integers
the five digits of my right hand
define the curve of your back
reaching down
you conjoin our planes
the negative quadrants vanish
and we become a geometric progression
approaching infinity

    It sounds like math, it reads like math, but there’s more there. Grin. Great job!

    I can’t quite make up my mind about this: either you just made math sound erotic OR made love-making sound like an equation, which I sort of think it is, too. It’s great how you combined what people often consider as right-brained with a left-brained activity! :)
