“The Planeswalker know
YOu take the card from the library
And bury it when you're done.
On the path, you face history.

Start with the prime numbers under 100
Whose digits give you 10.
Choose the happy median.
Add it to: The square root of
The cube of five divided by
The sum of 3 and 2.”
Megan Frazer Blakemore, The Friendship Riddle

Together
we are three.
A prime number, indivisible,
because nothing can break us apart.
Except maybe swim camp.
Or summer school.
And possibly the Hoard.”
Rebecca Caprara, Worst-Case Collin
