a fragile x story
We hate math.
They tell us we can't do it.
They measure our x axis.
With abscission, they
cut and separate the
flowers from the fruits.
beauty from plainness,
simplicity from difficultness.
X substitutes before y, a, bc.
Why females before the males?
Why does x mark the spot?
Sign here or form radiation
of extremely short wavelengths?
Why do x-rays mean to examine
or treat, like nurturing rays?
Why does x mean extra large or small?
Why is x so fragile, so oriented?
