As children,
playing outside
to our hearts' content
was only when
we came home filthy

Learn the geography well
To compass the feelings
Do your geometry
The value of pi does not change
Variables and constants
Algebraic expressions

Observation and inferences
Experience gained

Be Calculative
You ought to make calculations and come to decisions
Learning languages for special skills

Limitless images are formed
Miracle and magic! alone no more
