Graphing exponential poetry


Poetry is a verb, actually
like making math.

Word problems are like poems-
not the answers,
that would be equating
sentences with results,
or pseudo-solutions
as situationally contingent
on truth, theoretically philosophy.

Those theorems,
like theories (of everything)
contain figurative
symbols to represent
flatly for us
a two-dimensional space, so we can grasp
a ratio reliant deeply
on equivalent symmetry
or isonomy
for all,
unequivocally.

Arithmetically synonymous
to finding n
with figuring out
the answers-sans numerals
by visualizing potential
probabilities
physic-all-
y
testing x
:for scalability
and (un)limited (un) confidential correspondence
or N/A on

The final iteration counts were mapped to opacity levels and colours. The shadow effect is made by tracing rays back to a vanishing point and using the opacity level along the traced ray to determine how well lit each point should be.

The Three R's


I figure,
probability wise its okay
            that you'd be right to say
numbers aren't my thing
            they don't have a special ring

I guess it's totally in my head
             just my problem to portray
subtracting the negative attitude
             they just seem exponentially rude

standing so accurate there
              with an answer and solution for all
circa, around, about, ishes couldn't infinitely care
              even though oddly unaware

I can't calculate
              or translate their twisted tangles
in contemplating these my mind mangles
there's nothing acute about right angles

I see the categorical order
               plus the need to make sense
illiterate to numbers, perhaps this volumes dense
               and my hollow opinion not worth even two pence

I hypothesize however
               that like words numbers can do some magic
and that minus either the solution
               would be exponentially tragic.

And then...

  Change is like that strong smell of cut grass or chopped wood that stops you still. Patterns, a symbol can be an illegible sign,  at first...
