MATH LECTURER AND

                A GIRL WITH AN “O”

 

Adolescent girl..

Beautiful girl..

Math loving girl..

Ambitious girl

 

Forty plus lecturer

Head of Math lecturers

Terror of co working lecturers

He is terribly meticulous in his lectures

 

Girl sat with a love

Pure mathematical love

Tried hard not to love

What should not be loved

 

From Fourier’s sums and series’…

Her attention diverted into a series of freaks

While lecturer lectured about integration

She sat absorbed, rapturously, in his integrity

 

Pluses on the black board

Raised her pulses violently

She spewed kisses on her fantasy board

Subtracting his age from hers

She made numbers bearing negative signs

 

Multiplying his teacher-ly concern for her

Far beyond the boundaries of teachership

She divided her world , by fantasy

Into a fraction, whose numerator

Was a huge complex number with ‘i ‘

 

Seeing her mark in terminal paper

As a big zero he has never seen

Lecture asked the girl painfully

What is this????

What is this????????

 

The girl said boldly

This is a zero

Zero is a circle with a perfect roundness

Just as the letter O in “love”..

More vibrant than the O in math “fOrmulae”

 

Same as my lips when I say O

Same as my breasts when they are aroused

Same as my longing for you…

That goes on in futile never ending cycles..

Rendering my life itself into a huge zero

 

Everyday….. when I return home empty handed

After listening to your mesmerizing lecture.

My dear math lecturer,

I complete one revolution

On this O…...

Lecturer said Oooo!!! I see..

hilarious to the core ..can't stop laughing !! it seems you have very well conceptualized the infatuation that students feel for their teachers .. oh ! i wish i had such a student :D

"Lecture asked the girl painfully
What is this????
What is this????????"

it should be 'lecturer' (just the 'r' is missing) .. also instead of repeating 'what is this' it could have been something like

"what are you upto ?
what is this ?? "

just my suggestions :) also the way the first 3 stanzas ended with the same word yet didn't sound repetitive is commendable ! keep writing dear

I'm terrible at math but I do know one plus one equals two..
Nicely done...
