I'm trying something new, taking a risk this month - participating in#VerseLove with Sarah Donovan,
hoping to write poetry every day this April.
Today's poetry inspiration is to work mathematics into your writing. We were challenged to write down important numbers and see what jumped out, what spoke to us. I had a little fun with this:
Our Math Story: Fun with Numbers
12 of 13 + 2
meets
3 of 5 + 2
and decide to
add
together.
Which means,
in 1988,
(12 of 13 + 2) + (3 of 5 + 2) = 1
I think
2 as 1
while
simultaneously
1 that respects 2
is the hardest math of all.
In time,
this 1,
these 2,
added 3,
making 5.
After 25 years go by,
the numbers
begin to go down
because
1 of 3 splits off
and adds 1
and another
1,
and
2 of 3 splits off,
and
3 of 3 splits off,
with
2 as 1
remaining.
2 wonder if/when
2 of 3 and 3 of 3
will dare to add 1,
but realize
it is 0 of 2’s business.
So, long story short,
we 2 are 1,
together.
