The overcoming of obstacle
Is defining of who yourself are
It's a symbol of courage and firmness
This is the quotient of dividend and divisor
The product of multiplicant and multiplier
The sunny after the rain
The peace after the storm
The medal of valor after the war torn
The graduation of all the studies
The invention of miticuluos innovation
And the beacon of all hopes and aspirations.
Without caught exception,
a zero divisor, with no one the wiser,
deception
undetected;
divide by zero's end result:
wrecked id.
Uncaught,
adding insult:
naught.
Without caught exception,
divide by zero's end result:
naught.

If a program has an id, it is its hidden memories, which are lost when the program crashes, which is hard on the programmer's ego. Of course it has an id-entifier as well. As my daughter would say, "clever, but not funny, dad."

there's something now in America's room
to give us a sense of uncommon gloom
may be a smart guy, a financial advisor
with a hundred minus 99 an uncommon divisor
the room's haves, still have, the not, don't
99 of a hundred want redress, 1 other won't
is the Right right? does the Left remain?
has all of America gone a little insane?
do the Occupy folks occupy this room's hearts
do citizen's lives jerk on in fits-n-starts?
at their tea party did Alice and the Hatter
sip cool-aid or tea, or really know the matter
with all the other people, or too, themselves,
red queen, a rabbit, maybe a few dozen elves
is it right to just shout "off with their heads!"
shouldn't we consider a more humane way instead
acknowledge that we all have some common good
to better care for each other, at least we should
Johnny Appleseed knew well what the future held
so he planted for generations to come and dwell
under a tree of life, growing our tree of mankind
tying us to our brothers would knots that align
there's plenty of shade under one nation's tree
with our common good a precedent, a standard to be

There is one mathematical rule we should know:
Nobody in the world can divide by zero.
Anyone who is a mathematical advisor
says you need something in the divisor.
You can’t have zero in the denominator of a fraction.
Zilch makes it undefined and out of action.
Americans, English, Canadians, and the Japanese,
say zero is at the intersection of the X and Y axes.
Naught for the X-value renders a slope undefined.
You cannot have a quotient when the slope is vertical-lined.
A tangent is a sine over the cosine ratio.
The tangent is undefined when the cosine equals zero.
So that is all I have to tell you today.
Did I make things clearer with what I had to say?
amidst the circular, infinitely lateral depths,
a blinding, stark sliver finds consciousness;
erupting forth from the inverted arterial cascade
in arching pathways dimensionally untied
by helical vacuum vortices.
spiralling into a unique interpretation,
etched in nothing, tracing contours,
simulating substance, expanding and contracting;
held forever-more in a blind copy, apparently real,
yet in final calculation, a divisor effectively zero.

The binomial scrolls list captive waste,
But the breathing chrysalis bound to the dark
Secured to the radian orbital stone
In the peripheral absence of the lark
She breathes alone
She remains unknown
She has no divisor to wilt her life
Nor governing census of phylum and foe
No patent pending inscription to wear
She has no divisor and no ratio
She is entombed
But she’s not doomed
The abyssal eclipse consumes their eyes
And the nebulous ash is in between
Their venom, their amulet of death
Embalms only the ones seen
Their sun is rayless
Their sky is starless
Upon the global breadth they have marched
Wearing arcane lenses of blinding light
Blistering bane of knowing all
Thinking the wrong is right
At the ecliptic frontier
I shed a lonely tear
