at any given moment
at any given moment
on the tongue,
there are subtle
equations being
solved, a mouthful
of knowns and
unknowns, a study of
polynomials –
in the field of complex
numbers, you cannot
swallow without giving
away a solution or two

This is a wonderful use of the care one takes to speak… because, of course, each moment of speaking, is a gift … and words when spoken become “given” that may for may not form the basis of a counterattack.
So the given moment, is also an opportunity for vulnerability.
This is hard and crisp. Full of the dilemna of speaking.
Hahah… this comment has more words than the poem.
