'Intelligence'

Awkward
Sitting alone after a test
Youngest in the class
Understands the most
In a book
But
Most likely
Understands the least in life

I study pathetically
Just to see that letter
And some how
Randomly
X to the fourth
Ends up in my mind

I'm so smart, I guess
That I forget how to count
One, two, three
Wait…
Isn't there supposed to be
A square root in there?
I'm not kidding
That happens all the time.

Sometimes intelligence fails me
I expect so much
But then I fail the test
B or F
There's no difference

I've F=ma-ed myself
Too far
Hopefully you get it
Most of the time
Being so smart isn't fun.
