Math (And Why I don't Understand)

The language of the universe

Or so we think

Why does the universe speak in numbers

For something so vast

It uses such a simple language

But not to me

It sounds like nonsense

When you dunk your head underwater

And try to hear the sounds from the surface

My math teacher gets mad

Thinking I'm not paying attention

That I should be able to understand

If I was listening

But how does she expect me to understand

When she is talking in another language

The rest must have heard it when they were young

They must have been taught at a young age

That is the only way

My head can wrap around

Them knowing this strange language
