The Physics of Attraction

The teacher assigned us
A page on tangents
And told us to draw lines
That connected at just one point

It made me think of your lips
Brushing against mine just once
And the lines you drew later
To make sure we never connected again

My lines were all curved
So my acceleration graph looked
Like a ragged heart monitor
I wrote a note at the bottom, to my teacher or to you
'The laws of physics still don't explain me.'
