New Arithmetics Poem by Jerry Buckley

You and me
1 + 1 = an integer undoubtedly > 2.
1 x 1 = something unmeasurably > 1.
What convoluted arithmetics
we have to learn,
to come up with the right answers
in relationships.

Seems to me,
the only way
to get a grasp on the subject,
is to attempt to unlearn
everything they taught us
in mathematics;

about divisions;
(since 2 divided by anything will
end in a fraction,)
and subtractions;
(Because 2 - 1 invariably = a sum
< or = zero.)
