Solve for M.E.

If I drive you to school

subtract 20 minutes there

and 20 back again

Times the 2 for the

end of the day

Plus thirty more to basketball

times 2 to go back home

But the pantry's bare

You divided the last of the

Goldfish yesterday

Use X to solve for Y

I picked up the ones on the floor

So out the door for an hour more

at the grocery store

More subtraction from the bank

As we draw ovals and squares

with a grocery cart

Then thirty more which feel

like a hundred as you fight

in the back seat

Where do they go

these minutes plus hours

time in a void

time in a stare

mind numb, nowhere

can't write, can't read

can't run, can't do

Stuck in subtractionfrom point A to point B

my time equals nothing done

times infinity
