The Difference


“What is the difference?” I asked carelessly.
But the question was, “What is the sum?”
And while I was watching the divisive knives,
I missed the product come.
But when it came, it unfolded so
That I could never miss it again,
And the more-than-enough exponential results
Brought healing to age old pain.
And the quadratic reality of the graph
Made a mere two-dimensional contusion,
But, twelve parabolas later,
I saw through the entire illusion.
It was all for my own good, really.
