new gerunds, etc.

a ladybug unexpectedly flew in to my apartment tonight. seventeen floors up.
on occasion, some strange creature finds its way here,
through some means of undetermined chaosity,
to this very spot.
it's remarkably, curiously random.

one could say a surface is a surface, and it is only with context
that the derivative of alluration can curve a line
one way or the other,
that the math is what makes it,
or anyone,
anything.
