Arithmetic
by Pat Raia
A dozen
misunderstandings
at least
one hundred
slights
Thousands of
small indignities
that
can’t be
overlooked –
A million
brand new
chances
to get
to alright –
Your heart
is no
accountant –
but
mine
is

I love your poem, Pat. It creeps up on you – very Margaret Atwood-like: careful words that carry within them an impactful and raw intensity.
Pat Raia says
Thank you so much, Holly –
I’m so glad that you enjoyed it.
