i.
slow there, and here expand
common strands
run steep and wide, the strange
vocabulary very academic
like the smell of an ink pen
your finger, use it to trace
the craftsmanship of a cube
then cup the sphere
where you stand
strain and maintain, turn
to your neighbor and explain
the endless
compulsion to explain
ii.
fractions are soft, a loss
without total loss
the algebraic expression
is an opportunity to set right
the brokenness in the world, to reveal
and make known the exact question
know this and then gaze
into the brain of incarnation
a notion now in breathing meat
iii.
think of what you
expected to learn
this is the how
I leave you
to solve for why
