Oh learning,
may it never end;
how could it?
There is a sudden clarity this morning,
that I was made to confuse the most literal
beauties that god created.
It is very very good
to give creative writing assignments
with vague directions
to STEM students.
My clarifying emails
only confuse them further
because with good reason
they try to check the temperature
of the water
before jumping in the deep end,
unlike me, who flings myself
into confusing mystery
before the instructions are done.
We have so much to offer each other!
Love me in my frustration
when I have to start over
after leaping too soon.
Also love us
who shiver at the threshold
of just give it a go, rolling our eyes.
Together we fill the color wheel
meeting where somehow
purple bleeds into red.
