Your Ass-ymtote
Martha Faldo
Like an
asymptote
infinitely increasing,
we’re nearing intersextion
at a discrete point on your parabola.
Let me lie tangent
and derive you.
I want to solve for x.
I know y,
I’m in
love,
but you present a problem.
I rack my brain for an answer—
like an
ass-ymtote,
approaching touching.
