i am not number seventeen

grade twelve

first row

third from the left

 

you cannot

multiply any of these figures

and form an image of me

 

i will not allow my life

to become a function

with my goals as an asymptote

 

my success is not measured exponentially

 

i am not

logical

 

i am not

round

 

you cannot divide my assets equally among my peers

 

there are no rules

i am free

souls are infinite

and I am not

a real number

no matter what they say
