I still remember physics class
at school,
‘It’s nothing but a plane curve
that works under the influence of gravity’,
my teacher said.
I did not know curves need an armour too,
often I wondered.
Now, when they tell me the death toll,
I create an imaginary line,
joining the locus of points
but it doesn’t become a curve.
Perhaps the ball is still ahead of the curve!
