Scholar’s Wife

The next time she
hears of how he

extrapolated
statistical trends

to arrive at
correlational

data she’ll be
halfway sprung

in search of
metaphorical

heavy machinery
she can calibrate

to tear down
everything in

the town again
metaphorically

but still she’ll be
her own math

gone full metal
from somewhere

bare in the back
of her brain
