"mathematical" poems
Gliding deftly along the city street rolling quick and constantly onward to some unknown scene, some backward park in the nighttime smoke curling from these parted lips, moist and inviting calling me somewhere I've never seen. New day, new night new feelings, rage in delight fill me with your hilarious entropy, knock my quarks into the next century, will you please? Now you're smoking the pipe and all at once you are free between you and me, this smoke is thicker and sticks like glue, wispy and dreamy and the world spins and calls Toltec telephone company can't pay me for all those calls collected and rendered obsolete Sun god dead as that silly calendar meme Amaterasu, and Imma tell you these ladies in the picnic table buried alive for boxed lunch and god's brunch Jesus ******* Christ and a indelible roster of good guys, to which we all must strive to live and die behind, never moving forward chasing our tails like a sick dog under the jasmine runner between the decades-old tanbark imported from overseas dead trees dead canine and oh isn't it just divine? You see it, pretty lady. I can see it hiding behind your eyes the things you don't tell the others because you're afraid if they found out, you'd be crucified. Well honey I hate to inform, With KGB efficiency that these love-a-dumbs aint Methuselah, they'll be dead! long before your flood of tears tears me from the land ballistas me across the great expanse to some strange Ararat of the eastern seaboard, or maybe wash me deep along the 80 into the desert sands and tiles on a leaky cell phone screen desperately trying to dial home on low battery, realizing all this was one big deferred dream, baking in the sun and shriveling oh well, back to the grindstone-- all those lies plucked your nose, gotta cut it back to size, 'else your soul it'll outgrow Don't worry honey bee It hasn't happened to me, and We know with calcuable mathematical truth that it'll never happen to you.

Science says that there's a mathematical equation that explains everything in life. But I say that not even physics bears an explanation for...the guidelines of attraction. Our primal reactions are multiplied in...the highlights of passion. These laws of love that linger like a lanterns lost illumination... Like the campfire light on a clear night, leaves coals of culmination. Sweat beads lead to bare threads and bare bodies. And oh my, how bare bodies lead to imaginations running wild. Cold winds inspire warm kisses and close skin. Sincere actions aren't sins. Bodies wound in union, formed by light and tightly bound. Together, these twisted vines penetrate the hardest ground... Together, harmonic souls produce passionate sounds. Yet, still somehow, love gets lost more than love gets found. This equation is unending...like numbers off lips that kiss the air. Body language spoken...Our physical bonds parallel eternity and pi squared. And you know that every moment that we share is nothing short of...molecular love for the masses... Now held captive by gravity and magnetism... See, the last full moon marked retrograde...and if the moon affects the tide of the ocean...and our bodies are roughly 75% water...can we assume that this is the only body powerful enough to keep ours apart? This gravity... This pull... It's pulling me apart...so let me pull you closer, stop pushing me away! Hold on tight, dont let these planets drift away into a dark rift of decay. Let your love lap upon this solid stone like a river riffles smooth sandbars into hills of higher ground. Because baby, without your water on my beach... I'm nothing but a desert, dry and deserted.

BLESSED be this place, More blessed still this tower; A ****** arrogant power Rose out of the race Uttering, mastering it, Rose like these walls from these Storm-beaten cottages -- In mockery I have set A powerful emblem up, And sing it rhyme upon rhyme In mockery of a time HaIf dead at the top. Alexandria's was a beacon tower, and Babylon's An image of the moving heavens, a log-book of the sun's journey and the moon's; And Shelley had his towers, thought's crowned powers he called them once. I declare this tower is my symbol; I declare This winding, gyring, spiring treadmill of a stair is my ancestral stair; That Goldsmith and the Dean, Berkeley and Burke have travelled there. Swift beating on his breast in sibylline frenzy blind Because the heart in his blood-sodden breast had dragged him down into mankind, Goldsmith deliberately sipping at the honey-pot of his mind, And haughtier-headed Burke that proved the State a tree, That this unconquerable labyrinth of the birds, cen- tury after century, Cast but dead leaves to mathematical equality; And God-appointed Berkeley that proved all things a dream, That this pragmatical, preposterous pig of a world, its farrow that so solid seem, Must vanish on the instant if the mind but change its theme; Saeva Indignatio and the labourer's hire, The strength that gives our blood and state magnani- mity of its own desire; Everything that is not God consumed with intellectual fire. III The purity of the unclouded moon Has flung its atrowy shaft upon the floor. Seven centuries have passed and it is pure, The blood of innocence has left no stain. There, on blood-saturated ground, have stood Soldier, assassin, executioner. Whether for daily pittance or in blind fear Or out of abstract hatred, and shed blood, But could not cast a single jet thereon. Odour of blood on the ancestral stair! And we that have shed none must gather there And clamour in drunken frenzy for the moon. IV Upon the dusty, glittering windows cling, And seem to cling upon the moonlit skies, Tortoiseshell butterflies, peacock butterflies, A couple of night-moths are on the wing. Is every modern nation like the tower, Half dead at the top? No matter what I said, For wisdom is the property of the dead, A something incompatible with life; and power, Like everything that has the stain of blood, A property of the living; but no stain Can come upon the visage of the moon When it has looked in glory from a cloud.

The coefficient of my sadness Is greater than the square root of my madness. My thoughts are quadratic, My actions are enigmatic; My aim is to perplex, Now all I have to do is solve for x.

I, a woman of letters, have been waiting for you, a man of numbers. I’ve been fantasizing of the day when you would deliver at the porch of my heart your algebraic equation. The x’s and y’s merged systematically with all the symbols, forming an indelibly inked pattern that would finally make sense. I have been waiting and hoping and praying, but all I’ve got so far are your invalid equations, the confusion, the uncertainties, the unsolvable mathematical sentence that I want so desperately unscrambled. How can you not, in your genius, find the right equation, even as I now try to draft a coherent verse? for j.e. 013115

Regardless of what the future holds, I know that no feat of mathematical precision no combination of zeroes and ones no mechanical tool, no algorithm can replicate your face. In the rise and fall of your eyelids and the pursing of your lips there is a lawless radiance.

Last week I was taught that no matter how complex an expression may seem if you multiply it by its conjugate pair you will always end up with a non-negative real solution. That is a metaphor for how we have learned to love. I used to like mathematics, as strange as it may sound, because memorising the value of pi was somehow easier than forgetting the notion of you and I thought maybe comprehending the mechanics of the universe would lead me one step closer to cracking the combination. In a world that spins at the rate of 27,900m per minute, a constant can prove tricky to find. Hence, there is solace to be felt in knowing that even when it is all said and done – when the final bullet has slipped from our tongues and we are left trembling upon nothing but the rubble of our own destruction, two plus three will still be equal to five. In an attempt to clarify a theory to the class, my teacher analogised that mathematics is like one big giant jigsaw puzzle: everything always fits together perfectly in the end Since then I have learned it is the method without the madness, the passion for the predictable; it is everything - that love is not. Not even the greatest mathematician in the world has been able to measure how much a heart can hold. There is no algorithm for how to make you come back; I cannot draw a line graph on the speed at which love left and even if I could, our gradients would never be the same. I may have both halves of the bed, but there is never enough space to fill it with. If a task takes four hours for ten people to complete and the same job takes five people twice that time, how long will it take for a human to feel whole again? Sometimes I think we are nothing more than two parallel lines that accidentally crossed paths.

Out jumps { }, Nothing is showing. So natural numbers are the same as counting What other kinds are there? Tell us quickly please The tension is mounting Did you say members or elements?

The Cross, the Cross Goes deeper in than we know, Deeper into life; Right into the marrow And through the bone. Along the back of the baby tortoise The scales are locked in an arch like a bridge, Scale-lapping, like a lobster's sections Or a bee's. Then crossways down his sides Tiger-stripes and wasp-bands. Five, and five again, and five again, And round the edges twenty-five little ones, The sections of the baby tortoise shell. Four, and a keystone; Four, and a keystone; Four, and a keystone; Then twenty-four, and a tiny little keystone. It needed Pythagoras to see life playing with counters on the living back Of the baby tortoise; Life establishing the first eternal mathematical tablet, Not in stone, like the Judean Lord, or bronze, but in life-clouded, life-rosy tortoise shell. The first little mathematical gentleman Stepping, wee mite, in his loose trousers Under all the eternal dome of mathematical law. Fives, and tens, Threes and fours and twelves, All the volte face of decimals, The whirligig of dozens and the pinnacle of seven. Turn him on his back, The kicking little beetle, And there again, on his shell-tender, earth-touching belly, The long cleavage of division, upright of the eternal cross And on either side count five, On each side, two above, on each side, two below The dark bar horizontal. The Cross! It goes right through him, the sprottling insect, Through his cross-wise cloven psyche, Through his five-fold complex-nature. So turn him over on his toes again; Four pin-point toes, and a problematical thumb-piece, Four rowing limbs, and one wedge-balancing head, Four and one makes five, which is the clue to all mathematics. The Lord wrote it all down on the little slate Of the baby tortoise. Outward and visible indication of the plan within, The complex, manifold involvedness of an individual creature Plotted out On this small bird, this rudiment, This little dome, this pediment Of all creation, This slow one.

There is a harsh beauty in mathematics. Under curves and over slopes, Equations rise and fall endlessly In a perfectly measured void. Optimized, rationalized, sterilized; Formulas that never lie, Theorems looming before us Like an archaic God, A golden deity whose Volume is maximized. How I dream of drifting in this flux, Concave up and concave down, Riding the sign of my second derivative For positive and negative, For better and worse. I would not travel alone; With C by my side, Friend, ally, brother, Always paired with my antiderivative, For whenever we journey back Into the past, it is necessary To have a companion to pull us out again In case we are unsure of where we started. Rules and laws Strict organization, control; There is a harsh beauty in mathematics. Order; two plus two is always four. Sines and cosines and theta All dancing in the unit circle of life, A conga line that joins itself To form a mathematical ouroboros. But the harshest of the harsh beauties Presented in this Divine Subject Is that though there is an infinite capacity For positivity and growth, So too is there the possibility of stretching Endlessly towards negativity forever. However, it is much more terrifying To lie in the middle; To be undefined, unknowable, and to add Or subtract to no effect; The most fear inducing, mysterious, and gorgeous number Of zero; nothing yet something, Infinite yet not, The most grand of all contradictions. A hole; a jump; a discontinuity, Easily removed from life and smoothed out If you just apply the formulas. Graphs and coordinates, integers and ordered pairs, Is that not what life is? We live within the grandest equation, Each our own variable, Constantly solving for ourselves With the harsh beauties of mathematics.

Two girls there are : within the house One sits; the other, without. Daylong a duet of shade and light Plays between these. In her dark wainscoted room The first works problems on A mathematical machine. Dry ticks mark time As she calculates each sum. At this barren enterprise Rat-shrewd go her squint eyes, Root-pale her meager frame. Bronzed as earth, the second lies, Hearing ticks blown gold Like pollen on bright air. Lulled Near a bed of poppies, She sees how their red silk flare Of petaled blood Burns open to the sun's blade. On that green alter Freely become sun's bride, the latter Grows quick with seed. Grass-couched in her labor's pride, She bears a king. Turned bitter And sallow as any lemon, The other, wry ****** to the last, Goes graveward with flesh laid waste, Worm-husbanded, yet no woman.

Scalene Triangle: Here no sides or angles are the same. Isosceles Triangle: Here two sides and angles are same. Acute Triangle: Here all three angles are less than 90º. Obtuse Triangle: Here one angle is greater than 90º. Equilateral Triangle: Here all sides & angles are the same. Right Triangle: Here one angle is equal to 90º. And the most common triangle is... Love Triangle: Here a lover usually cheats on the other. I unluckily have gotten stuck in all these 7 triangles. Never deserved to be cheated but still got cheated. I can not hate them but still, I so often get hated. And the mathematical triangles only bothered.

The Types of Triangles
I just want to ask one question Is the human race obeying the mathematical rule called BODMAS? Just a refresher...   Brackets, Orders, Division, Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction We have created different brackets where we enclose people like casket He's black, she's white, they are rich, those are poor, she's educated, he's religious, he's fat, she's slim... Brackets People are treated differently Based on the class that we've put them in Some are raised to power like exponents Others are trapped in like square roots...Orders The segregation has only intensified our division I don't fit in here, I belong over there My group is stronger, those ones are losers... Division Disunity and absence of love has caused A multiplication of our problems Threats, deportation, persecution We don't like them, we'll bomb them War, insurgency, terrorism, hate speech... Just problems Multiplication Every second, our population is experiencing several additions Our population keeps growing while Our natural resources are being exploited And depleting at a rate faster than our population growth Our resources are experiencing severe subtractions I just want to ask one more time... Aren't we obeying BODMAS?

Etch-A-Sketch Skin
We come from two different worlds yet we're close. We're like parallel lines. We are equidistant from one another and we'll never meet, but for some reason we're headed in the same direction. Why can't we be perpendicular lines? Why can't we meet and create a 90 degree angle? Is it fates way of saying we can never meet? The mathematical theory can always be related with the psychological one when it comes to relationships or our own issues with ourselves. We can never be because we're not meant to meet. We're headed in the same direction but the space in between is two negative magnets keeping us at a distance, hence we fight to be close only to be pushing ourselves further away but always equidistant one another till we eventually agree. We are parallel lines. However what we refused to wait on is the second Mathematical theory on Parallel and Perpendicular line. We can somewhat change a parallel line to a perpendicular one just by rotating a line 90 degrees. This in a psychological manner means that no matter how pessimistic a relationship feels, how depressed we are, how alone we feel, with one change we can create a 90 degree angle of happiness.

Art of Prescription
The farthest man made object in space, Voyager 1, is over 20 billion km away from Earth. On board is a phonograph record, brilliant gold, containing sounds and images of what life is like on earth, A message to whoever is able to listen, a literal shot in the dark. On it is an inscription that is perhaps the most beautiful sentence I have ever read TO THE MAKERS OF MUSIC ALL TIMES ALL WORLDS a time capsule, a gift, from us To anywhere and everywhere A hundred years from now or a thousand Our belief that no matter what time Or world you belong to, melody and harmony and rhythm, can bring us together, can communicate. On the cover Are figures, explaining how to operate this record Hieroglyphics from what by then Would be ancient history Messages in binary, the 1s and 0s Our position in the universe marked by our distances from gigantic pulsars, the star map to our home, the creators of this message There's beauty in this marriage of math and art Code and music As a way to communicate with the universe. Some of the images on the record are the most beautifully simple ones, Of us, humans, drinking and eating, laughing, of animals, nature, food and architecture. Then there are images of our scientific observations, mathematical calculations, our discoveries, Like a child showing off Look, look what I can do! Black and white and in colour, Pictures, proof that we, indeed have lived and achieved. The music, classical, our very best from Bach and Mozart to Blind Willie Johnson's Dark was the Night. But all of this can only matter, can come to fruition if someone exists to receive it, and is evolved enough to comprehend what it means. But that's the thing, everybody knows, That's there's a slim chance of this record ever being heard, and it's much more possible that the Voyager will simply end up as floating debris in the cosmos, but it doesn't matter! We just want someone to know that there was a species of bipedal, intelligent animals on this blue planet, no different than finding graffiti in alleys that read I WAS HERE. WE WERE HERE, WE EXISTED. And it's all about that hope, the hope that someone will see us, our pictures, listen to our languages, our greetings, our music, and remember us, even after we're long gone. Or perhaps we will one day be interstellar space faring people as well, following the path of the Voyager, doing what we do best, Explore.

Both latter and former, contrary and congruent Neither gas nor solid, the river moves fluid. No end and no beginning, just water moving… swimming… A formless former that is a powerful latter Contradiction through symmetry and space within matter Passively energetic as potential becomes kinetic Transparently reflective and silently phonetic Thermally dynamic and fluidly frantic The waters maintain a static chaos through mathematical mechanics. Mechanically architected and architecturally mechanic Water seems the perfect medium for analysis of a dynamic. Dynamic existence and persistent resistance Statically chaotic seems the architect’s insistence. Equilibriomatic, with addition subtractive Empirical measures fail to analyze the passive. What simply is, simply is… Invincible to mimicry or microcosmic reenactment. Experimental methods seek to unify the synonymous Attempting to prove the objective with a subjective hypothesis. Learn from the water, let its metaphor be imminent…. For the divine externality lies not without, but within it.

Potential Kinetics and Silent Phonetics
I am not born as yet, five minutes before my birth. I can still go back into my unbirth. Now it’s ten minutes before, now, it’s one hour before birth. I go back, I run into my minus life. I walk through my unbirth as in a tunnel with bizarre perspectives. Ten years before, a hundred and fifty years before, I walk, my steps thump, a fantastic journey through epochs in which there was no me. How long is my minus life, nonexistence so much resembles immortality. Here is Romanticism, where I could have been a spinster, Here is the Renaissance, where I would have been an ugly and unloved wife of an evil husband, The Middle Ages, where I would have carried water in a tavern. I walk still further, what an echo, my steps thump through my minus life, through the reverse of life. I reach Adam and Eve, nothing is seen anymore, it’s dark. Now my nonexistence dies already with the trite death of mathematical fiction. As trite as the death of my existence would have been had I been really born.

Woman Unborn
Studying the 'Base', 'Hypotenuse', and 'Height' of a triangle, My mind recalls what I witnessed in that sensual night, You were like an unconceived mathematical notion, I a novice in geometry trying to draw a straight line Of kisses on your shivering body, How fragile those attempts were, How lovely to see them fail, Lying idle on the bed like a base of a building I lured you to stood high above me, And your hands pressing my chest as a ladder, We're affixed like a right-angled triangle Dizzy, and drunk exploring our area of love.

Pythagoras Theorem
The complexity of coupling is an exponential increase. No matter how perturbed life may be, we strive to linearize it, thank you Laplace. You transform us. It is integral to simplify life. Like Da Vinci, Like Thoreau: “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication” “Our life is frittered away by detail…simplify, simplify” Let us not differentiate between the good or the bad                          the high or the low. Life is too brief to quantify, qualify, and compare it to others. It is yours alone. Embrace the change over time.
