Dividing With Fractions
The irreducable truth
is: most women
in my family
find mathematicians
irresistable. Witness
this scene in the kitchen:
cousins and sisters
and mothers gather around
to watch my brothers
and my grandfather
playing some sort of
Scrabble-by-numbers.
I bowed out
because I couldn't remember
how to divide with fractions.

My Asterisk Divides
To tell an eyeball
how to move down:
break a line, or break
a stanza to move
further along. An asterisk
says "it's over."
