I have a simple mind.

I cannot see underneath

because I can\'t pull back the corners, 

Or read between the lines.

To those of you whom I\'ve misinterpreted, I apologize. 

It wasn\'t done purposely.

It\'s just that I don\'t get it.

I used to think that I could understand complexity. 

If that was ever the case, it isn\'t now. 

I\'ve run up against a wall 

that I\'m too weak to scale.

It makes me wonder.

Am I just too old,

Or too stupid?

The same thing happened in math,

When I was young. 

Yet I majored in it.

Isn\'t that funny,

And pathetic,

And absurd;

Or do I just lack

Imagination?

I used to play pretend.
