Years ago I wrote this poem -- recently I have rediscovered it and, once again, pondered the role of time in my life. Here, from the 1980's is "Expectations" -- a poem that appears in my collection, Intersections (Kadet Press, 1993).
Expectations by JoAnne Growney
Don't let mathematics
teach you to expect two
to be more than one.
It's sad but true that two
can get too near,
can interfere,
can reduce each other
to less than one,
to less than half.
