Miscommunication

As Isaiah moves ahead into algebra,
Phil explains that, in an equation,
You can do anything,
So long as you do it to each side.

This all seems straightforward
Until Isaiah states, frustrated,
I don’t understand,
But cannot explain what he doesn’t understand.

That’s the nature of miscommunications,
Of course. Neither side knows what the other is missing.
