Thursday Poetry Corner
In honor of the fabulous kimmyray's birthday... Have a wonderful day, Statgirl!
soulmates
we are all of us
nonsingular creatures
whose identities
must be affirmed
before our inverses
can be found
conformity
why must life
be a diagonal matrix?
where every other path
that deviates from the main
is an unacceptable
- zero
[ ]
we are born
as identity matrices
[nonzero]
[nonempty]
a subset
of the complexity
that is the universe
until fate hands us a scalar
from the twin ends of infinity
and we grow in magnitude
to become universes
- ourselves
