Mathematician Mystic from Sundial Tree by Michelle Lynn Ptacek

How many out laws breathe down your neck
How many ideas get off your chest
How many options in your honest opinion
How many underworlds pine for your soul
How many circus freaks square your circle
How many hoops and rings am I jumping through

Thought I’d ask before closing our eyes counting the steps
Walking in darkness To find the way back
Ditch the curse and draw a map
Too calculated to be chaotic

How many servants tend your garden
How many governments in their eden
How many options in your honest opinion
How many ballistic capitalists
How many overdosed wiz kids
How many Mathematician Mystic

Counting picket signs on the lawn
Counting like minds banging your gong
Counting singers in the samsara song

How many combinations unlocking
How many fractals multiplying
How many links in the chain of blame are breaking

Thought I’d ask before closing our eyes Counting the steps
Walking in darkness To find the way back
Ditch the curse and draw a map
Too calculated to be chaotic
