2001/pieday

It’s national pie
day you say,
stepping into
the shower.
I’ll not be eating
any.
Not that kind,
you answer,
mathematical pie.
3.14.
And Einstein’s
birthday.

I liked Einstein,
maybe other scientists
were just as quotable
but passed by,
the way I feel
those days
when life seems
like a street
I can only see
from a window.
When you don’t know
what you don’t know
so you don’t know
how to learn it.
