i draw a stick figure on a coordinate plane
as a joke in my math class
my students say
it's christ on the cross
a few break into chorus
a few lift their hands
one boy giggles and shakes his head
"that's not jesus and a cross
it's a stripper and a pole"
the few lost in praise
drop their hands
and agree
this is how the world breaks my heart
