PARABOLAS

 

 

he sees them

 

as mathematical equations

 

something he was never very good at in school

 

and yet through some preternatural determination

 

eventually figures out the varying combinations

 

like an asteroid pirouetting between gravitational fields

 

complex and yet so simple the parabolas

 

as according to the theory of chaos

 

intermittently the paradigm shifts forward

 

and in a tenuous few moments

 

can be controlled
