Love Math

by Frank Cavano, MD

Two, looking at toys with grandma the dolls
capturing young eyes- Sofia 4 and Ariana 7
are in love. Oh, I really want that one Sofia
insists. Tiny finger identifies a doll Hispanic.
I love her tan face 4 explains. Ariana wants
the doll with the black face grandma learns.
4 offers that 7’s choice has the better tan but
she loves her choice with a heart just as warm.
Caucasians 3 smile at each other as grandma
reaches for her wallet. She knows that Loves
teacher has always been children. Ah, 7=4=3
