Geometry for Dyslexics (Sonnet) by zodiac
God's children, they hijacked parchment planes, or made
them vaster, yet more finite so (a trick
lost on, or to, Cartesians;) for all day
we'd watched, helpless as dreamers, hands that swayed
straight parallels, then failed to intersect
what ought've intersected â so; and trod
the same bent circles till (forgetting these
were God's own figures,) we abridged. Outlawed
the negative, odd angles, sines. Left squares
reduced to weightlessness, whose even-shod
simplicity lulled us, told us how a piece
outweighs the whole, how points are naught. That there's
a good to invert evil - and a God
still greater than or equal to our cares.
