Bring it down to double lines
add the single digits, and
don't forget to carry ones--
god knows that I never did...

Whatchya gonna do with that?
throw it out the window? THINK.
Something comes of everything--
numbers totalling mystique
adversity/infinity--
something
takes the place of me.

Even as the math gives up
with a dot-dot-dash, perhaps?
a little line of double glee
connected by the mystery
making it so musical
something
takes the place of me...

whispering the hammering
of the silent notes of why,
with the dot-dot-boring-dash--
On! Until infinity!
Tell me that I didn't try
as I nailed my own refrain...

pinky hammering the tome
tooling leather in the bind--
smoke and whiskey leatherings
waterstains
the reasons
why
as I drop my offerings
tears
another seasoning
as I drink the greening in

I understand: It's "Pi".

Poem are real good but Pi are not square!(usually)
Hey there kid nothing could take the place of you as you indicate here......Oh God that's right poetry, naw even that won't work.
Love your stuff though, it's so darn creative...I'm usually all over it like a fat kid on a smartie.

Reagrds to you and you never did tell me what tune you played at your wedding????

Karen?...

So much to this... I've lost track of how many times I've read it... it just keeps calling me back again...but with each read, I see/feel something new... and?... I've learned a few things too... smile...

I could quote favorite lines...but there are too many... so just know that, far beyond the 'math' of it...I felt this...

Love you, lady...

of power the world will know peace."

gawwwd I love reading you aloud...

me thinks you walk around the house hearing everything in rhyme...I bet you dust in meter, cook in cadence.

and this offering....
cooler than a mere moth has words for...

(remember this?) when I read you...     

lol  

Home is a feeling I buried in you ...
I'm alright, I'm alright ... It only hurts when I breathe ...
