The Distracted Student

The function equals this-and-that value point zero zero five.
The numbers are so precise, so concrete and, so very impersonal.
I wish there were some sort of colorful "emotional-abucus."
Perhaps it could help us calculate, figure-out, some sort of
"tangible-feeling" at any given moment.
A feeling we could grasp and hold onto like a Louisville Slugger
An answer is an answer, whether we like it or not.
Emotions
Those curious emotions
Plague me.

BobG

The idea of a person having emotions and holding a Lousiville Slugger at the same time frightens me.
