Life’s Little Misdirections 🥀🦋

Outcomes (The Calculator)

Solemnly run,
predictive models of outcomes measured by
gut punches —
reactions to the likes of you, sneering,
who eye,
approach a solemn figure recalculating
the models,
wondering if I can trust your ‘sort.’
Experience taught
uninformed me to become cynic,
who you plead
drop the gloves, let guard down.
Well,
since you implore, it must be safe.

Flinchingly,
I behave like a fool,
a precedent having already been set,
as outcomes form from
the calculator treating Math
as an emotional subject.
