Math is witnessed at everything It is behind infinite things Capable of solving problems From simple operations to Complicated theorems. Math possess a long history... Once taught by Physiologoi Improved by history's Philosophers Now being indoctrinated by Teachers. Heart of all academic disciplines, Bearer of intricate formulas, The key behind all creation Knowledge passed through generations. From past mathematicians To future problem solvers Math changed through millennia And so its problems and solutions. Math can never be removed It helped the world to improve All society won't be like this to date Math helped us all the way.

The Magician glared down at the shallow water The light of the Sun flickering against the cool blue Some penetrating, some reflecting All of them searching for Home He thought of Man Traveling so far, so fast Towards the Mathematicians Inevitable Solution Trajectory predetermined The Observer laughs as they try to steer A Perfect Evolution Some accepted, some rejected Yet all complete the journey, Outside of time, outside of space Inside of All, The Kingdom of ALL At Home The Magician saw particles of sand Twisting, heaving, and some even sinking Clawing at the confused currents Swirling as if, for a time, they were one And he thought of The Humans Each of them individuals Caught in a storm outside of their control Forcing them together, pulling them apart If they are Wise, they'll steer with their Hearts, as one Towards the Solution

The Magician vs. The Mathematician
What you can’t tell by looking at me… is that i wish you could see what i see but because you don’t you go ahead and without thinking twice, you point the finger of judgement at me and through your eyes you think of me as a criminal, illegal, poor you don’t even question what is deeper inside besides the color of my skin I wish you could see how much this hurts me because maybe this isn’t your fault that you were brought up to see corruption, drugs, violence but listen to me, and trust me that there is another world out there one story, one you have yet to hear and i hope you find some way to appreciate it until you feel the pain from our struggle to make you think any different. make you think I am not less than you There are so many things you cannot see this is my culture, soy hispana y orgullosa and these are my people my people, who are more than you think they are for they are doctors, innovators, mathematicians, even scientists you see, there are many things you have not seen, this is only the beginning My people struggle for strength nunca te dejes vencer, porque el triunfo puede estar de la esquina as my mother tells me because pride is what keeps our will to fight going it is what makes us want to make a change, una cambio change your perception from rapists, homeless and corrupt to normal everyday people …. i hope one day you are able to see past the color of my skin and to accept what is there to know that we are not criminals, or crazed animals than what you set us out to be no, we are more than that we are human beings… just like you

You'll never believe this but, I drank from God's flask the other day. Yeah, Convinced that it was half full Of conscientiousness. Of hope, or passion, or honesty, or somethingworthgivingashitabout. For it had once appeared to many, A beautiful and grand canteen, Forged of liquid silver. And as I allowed the contents to inwardly surge, I realized that it had plunged into the same carnal vessel From whence it came, And the lining of my body had been holding the ancient linings of other bodies, Reincarnate. Romantic, If that's the way you wanna slice it. But There is a recipe for such rapture, And it's been written on pages much less holy than the Bible-- On the coffee stained clipboards of chemists And the meticulous manuscripts of mathematicians. It's made out of the same **** that everything else is made of: Out of the same force that makes you float when you sit in the dead sea, Out of your body's sweat after a hard day's work, Out of the blood in your veins. Salt. All of it, everything, everyone, Salt. Dissolved, crystallized, harvested, ingested, Redissolved, recrystallized, and the cycle repeated.

Brother Iran
"The number Pi is a mathematical constant, the ratio of a circles circumference to its diameter is commonly approximated as 3.145159. Being an irrational number, pi cannot be expressed exactly as a common fraction. Consequently, it's decimal representation (22/7) never ends and never settles into a permanent repeating pattern", He told the girl sitting next to her. "You like math I see", she chuckled. "No, not exactly", he sighs "I'm trying to tell you something, what I feel for you cannot be expressed properly, it's like pi, what I feel is deep and never ends, it doesn't settle to a repeating pattern because each day it changes and becomes something stronger", He looks straight into her eyes. "Since Ancient civilisation, mathematicians have been trying to find the ending of pi but they only ended at about a thousand numbers. Then in the 21st century Computer scientist decided to give it a try, but they ended at 13.3 trillion before they exhausted their computers", The boy took a deep breath and started to play with his fingers "Chances are a lot of people will try to figure out how I feel about you, myself included but no matter how hard I try it'll always go deep, it's infinite because I am irrevocably In Love with you"

Pi
professor Burke and professor Lee two mathematicians who could not agree loudly voiced their differences at half past noon having daily lunch at the Greasy Spoon the subject on the fateful day was Pi and they could not see eye to eye a disagreement on the thousandth digit had Burke turn red and caused Lee to fidget said Burke “No you are off by one!” spat Lee “Your math is poorly done!” Burke shouted, “Lee, you have gone too far!” reached toward the counter for a candy jar but his hand instead encountered pie a hideous gleam sprang to his eye he flung the pie with all his might hit Lee full face, eyes wide with fright but Lee recovered and found more pies Boston Creme took Burke between the eyes apple, custard, lemon, berry pecan, pumpkin, key lime, cherry pies of every kind were thrown plates' radius squared remained unknown the police arrived to break up the fray took the two meringued men away many hours later in the quiet cell with pie for ink and tempers quelled the two stood looking at the wall upon which lay their equation scrawled said Burke, with both their faces long “Well, what do you know. We both were wrong.”

When it comes to strong form When angles are always precisely norm Grows an alluring mathematically touched creation Inspired by pure calculated scientific divination Such an alluring symmetry to behold Causing the circle’s envy to unfold For this angled beauty’s strength enforced Its sold core mass equally divorced It’s rigid looks captivating us all Luring architects to its enchanting call Ancient Greek hands carving stone shrines Securing their beauty for all times Its slight outer angles enduringly tease Yearning us to brush with ease Who came up with such design? Was it indeed a gift divine? However it did come to be We all can enjoy with glee Well all but rectangle and square As they sulk with envious glare Murmuring curses over hexagon’s slight curve Endlessly plotting to mathematicians they serve Scheme upon scheme developed to suppress The sheer allure designed to impress Despite all this the hexagon persists Engaging us all in mathematical trysts Never will we lose an eye No matter how hard we try For the beauty a hexagon reigns Over the kingdom of geographical gains Forget not what you see here Our ancestors have made it clear Line upon line attached in twine Measured precisely from sips of wine The hexagon is a wonder indeed Allowing us our own mounted steed

What exactly does this expenditure of energy for solving a math problem do? After I forget about solving it, what do I have? An accomplishment? I have conquered a bit of logic and reasoning; just as this sentence does, but math takes more effort usually. It is precisely the reason that math requires more effort than reading or writing that there is a following behind it. That's probably why I'm into it. Because not everyone does it due to its difficulty. So it is an exclusive group. This is why it is bothersome to know others have excelled beyond me in math, because they have put forth the work; that they were tired enough of their ignorance to accomplish so much. It is nice to know what I could and couldn't accomplish from seeing them. 99% of mathematicians will never put forth a new theory or solve a once unsolvable question. It would seem my whole life of math would prove futile in light that this exclusive "club" only allows 1% to make a dent in human history. Therefore, I must strive, see it as a process of unending steps, and pray that I will add some work to humanity's progress.

Breathe In Me as A raindrop Slowly sliding down The window pane to pool in you A liquid singer chanting soliloquy in tune Tracing the left side of the moon Rippling through you In 1,1 2,3 5 Time Boy Your Striking Cellular Universe eyeballs Haunting painting hung down the hall I may come to marvel at you one day, sit, stare, stay Red-handed girl will strip the frame Release the canvas Pull you down Wrap you Keep You Spy You Sitting Quietly Do not rouse yourself Let the silence stay on your shelves She will creep into your bones while you sleep with a kiss Let her roll up her cotton sleeves Works well in chaos No pressure Sit still Straight Spine I Will Map you out Are you lost?

Living it up in a HB dream, Scribbled house sturdy as a pencil, This token of a childhood memory. House. Family, dinner, empty plate. Ghost in the attic. Cat on the lawn. Four out of five smiles. Playground. Friends. Unused seat On the swing set congregation. Pencil case protection from the ground. Classroom. Listeners, artists, mathematicians. Glaring absence note. An echoing drawer. Raised hand at the back too far away. This crayola madness is draped out In ribbons, strewn carelessly over An invitation. The dotted lines blur so The pencil shading, the artistic peak, Has gone too far, now it's translucent. This invitation goes to the imaginary friend.

Diastolic memory fills mind with blood Heart purges other unforgettable serum Gushing in and out; valediction, invasion Scent left on bed sheets binomial theorem Calculus, physics computing mnemonics us Trust not sum of it, exponents baying flux Participles and components abject humbling Stumbling bio discourse create sedentary crux Stupefying brain surgeons, those of heart too Call in mathematicians, astronomers as well No making sense of it, linguistic doctorates few To tell of this push-pull sensory denoting hell Not much time to live after lungs dispensed Entrenched questions remain to be adoring Extravagantly historians exploring Unanswerable examining of this imploring Must breathe the linens till all dissipation Your essence in the ether of our resting Place turned into mad languid laboratory Conjuring back moments I am requesting

Math lesson
I forgot to take my medicine. Don't freak out, but I forgot to take my pills. My veins are not swirling and dancing and wait actually the pills probably slow them to stop swirling and dancing so I guess now is the time for said swirling and dancing, is it not? I can feel a bit of mania in my head, so excited and so alive and so real. I can tell because there goes periods, out the window, never to be remembered or recollected or what was I talking about? Its twitching and hopping and like Wonderland and here we go, no ashes, just painting the roses red, painting the roses red, here comes the queen of hearts and off there goes my head, we're painting the roses red, until we end up dead. Am I somberly manic, or maniacally somber or am i even sad? I don't know its just the twitch, I can feel it, so Chesire under my skin, the smile is coming through and my head is racing and my focus is wasting away under the hot spotlight of my own personal theater. Bravo, Grace, take a bow! Letters and figures and math and language, so different but so funny because people speak both, why do mathematicians not count as fluent in another language, because its certainly foreign to me. Ooh, I probably should alert the one I never expected, tell him how my head's a twitching and my fingers a fluttering and all of it a maddening. I missed this, I'd hate to admit, with the progress and the productivity and the beauty and the wonder and the land and the magic carpet ride. What land am I in again? How funny it would be to see an intoxicated me. Am I intoxicated now? I don't know, I act like it but nothing's in my veins to even the pills am I born intoxicated, am I intoxication incarnate, am I addictive, am I a problem? I like my sweater today, its got words that I love and words that I feel, to be or not to be, that is the question, **** it feels like I'm on fire, my limbs are burning and I am flame reborn. Maybe I should take off my hat and let out some heat, but its a pretty hat and it might feel bad if I ignore it. Time to go back to busy life, where the life is dull and i am the fire but I love the dullness and the normativity because it involves my wonderland friends and the one I never expected. They make me happy, which lets me fly like this. The flying fire is me.

Crossroads are a particular kind of place where mythology and actuality combine, mix and dance with your shadow. Limitlessness has a name and social security number in your restlessness and your ambitiousness. I've performed in cafes and on street corners, In bookshops and depots, woods and public restrooms with the junkyard profits desperately clutching to my clothes, refusing my money but begging for my love. But now I am at the crossroads. The smoke from my soul comes in, forces me to turn around, turn around turn around, and see the faces, so many different faces, all those who have loved me, mocked me, befriended me, mentored, hated, changed maimed spit in my eye called me what they thought I was. So many faces. So many eyes full of dreams and ire. How many would I come to know again? Who would become fortune tellers blues-men teachers cops preachers mathematicians builders destroyers soldiers of fortune businessmen liars or junkyard prophets? Who will become like smoke in the fog, slightly hazy lost-boys off to never-never land, never to be seen or heard from except for the cries that whisper the time? So many faces. What will I be to them? A companion friend liar hater lover brother sideshow an I knew him when a face that looks at their back at the crossroads, a wisp of smoke? I turn again, turn turn, a cymbal shot pushes me forward, left and right, but I can never go back behind. Johanna whispers Even salvation must get old. I know she must be correct, at least as far as I can turn my head. The right is barred, the left is guarded by the beasts, the faces hum a dirge or a lullaby, I straighten my jacket, pack my self into a slip bag, and blow away with the smoke.

The right is barred, the left is guarded by the beasts, the faces hum a dirge or a lullaby, I straighten my jacket, pack my self into a slip bag, and blow away with the smoke.

Questions are often asked about my optimistic smile, the happy-go-lucky personality and unwavering confidence. The most common question: *How do you know these things?* I don't ******* know. I know nothing. I have no ******* idea where 73% of my thoughts, words and ideas come from. I don't even feel like it's "me" speaking/typing most of the time. Sometimes I have no idea that i'm telling you It's going to be alright because the words just charge out of my mouth. But I'm saying what is inside my brain. I don't think about it. That's my reaction. Confused yet? In the end it's all going to be alright cause we'll be dead. Either our conscious ceases or we are reconnected to all things-- that complete warm one-with-all feeling some call god or heaven or nirvana but we're going to forget all this stupid **** anyway. I have no clue what I do or don't know, between your volatility of perception and society trying to hypnotize me into complacency while it slowly burns away, I'm lucky to know my own ******* name. If you want answers to life's questions, stay away from me. Ask someone shrewd enough who pretends to know. Personally, I don't think there are any answers because they are whatever each person wishes them to be. I can only tell you what I feel and see in each moment as it's happening. Ask allah, preachers, Zen, astrophysicists, philosophers, Reikis, dictionary writers, lawyers, mathematicians, astrologists, Buddha, Industrial engineers, the ******* guy who delivers your food (or anyone really) for answers and more than likely you will have different kinds of **** answers. But if you ask yourself, you will find truth.

I will die. In order to authentically die, you must live authentically. Some live so casually that death is not their end. They fade. They leave. Death must be an honor, not a fate. My life will be proof in my death. I loved my family first. I allowed them to continually conquer my heart and time. My affections were used on them and not the things my coffin refuses to contain. The opportunities we are granted will be on our last breath. Confirming we were successful at taking them, or full of regret and bitterness. There is no need for resolutions or bucket lists. Today is my life. I plan to make it count. God and I are the only mathematicians to this equation. Our life is amplified by our death. If an artist wants to make money, they best thing they can do is die. (Jackson, Shakur, Leonardo, Twain, Lewis, etc.) I am not particularly excited for death. I am not morbid. But if I have to go through it, I’ll make my life worth it.

Legacy
there’s nothing left from line to line, as each word consumes the next like prophets marking “x’s” on calendar squares, and mathematicians feasting upon the sum of our selves - bounding like fleas, tickling feathers between the wings the seraphim feared to spread and draw shadows, like a tombstone across the sod-turned feet of a man not worth the effort. tears fell but no flower bloomed from the crumbling soil swept aside like eraser dust by a ***** and patted down across a heart that cast its beat in time with the shovels “shucks” in excavating a soul at the cost of its weary bones. time ticked despite the hands wrapped firm around the hilt of the driven-dagger frozen somewhere between the three and four, and teeth found each other like cogs around fruitless gears, that’s sole ambition was to wind its own fate around the process of begging alms for the ink that mere poets came to bleed upon his blessed crown.

Is it weird that my hero Is found in actual comics? Gambit, the raging cajun is my hero Much like a mathematicians is Zero He's operated on both sides of the law And he had caused horrible catastrophes And owned up to his flaws That and come on, The Kinetic Cards are just outright cool And I can never get tired of the character, even when he's being a tool So Gambit is my hero I'm a comic Geek I'm proud to admit At least I owned up to my nerdy habits That as a kid made my mom's wallet split

the worst thing is the realization you have nothing to say. the worst thing is a collision of words spinning deaf into a vortex of irrelevance. you finally understand. you are like the rest of them. you have nothing to contribute. silence is cancer deaf and dumb metastasis. it happens to giants and dwarfs locksmiths and astrophysicists mathematicians and short order cooks. it happens to saints and serial murderers. silence so deafening it barters with suicide. maybe that’s why they invented television.
