A Grin Without a Cat

Zero to the thousandth power
logic on the run
Oblongata left in pieces
nothing zero-sum

Squaring the root unto itself
Euclid at the cliff
A equals B as B disappears
the quotient nondescript

Hickory Dickory’s mouse on the run
though nimble Jack gets burned 
Formulas crumbling as integers balk
what’s ‘given’ mocked and spurned

Zero to the thousandth power
reason clones its fear
Classical thought—not selling or bought
Pythagorean tears

(36th & Chestnut Sts: September, 2023)
