Often statistically odd.
But explained by mathematics
without any need for a god....

Use a complicate language
Hard to understand.

Things are quite simple
When are thought in simple words.
No mathematics?...

  Nor are chemistry or physics ok
    I'd really like to roam free
    To study astronomy
  So I can 'star' in 'An Evening Soiree'...

Magazines are now Zines.

How will we pronounce Zi?
With our without a long I sound?...

Family Mathematics

I was an only child
I had it ALL….
THEN…
The new addition showed up
My room was divided
my drawer space now minus two
because “they” chose to multiply.

Number 12: Bet you just realized that was downright silly
Twelve comes after ten by about two or three

Also acrobatics

 Maintain accuracy
 Multiply two numbers
 Mitigate those fractions
 Master those equations
 Modify your cosines

I see the 
mathematics in her,
the whole family of scholars,
dispassionate judgements, 
their genius
and their madness.
I see the Schaeffer 
eagerness in me, a 
dynasty of tail waggers,
trying to please,
blundering....

parallel lines
lines that never meet
is this a sign
to declare our defeat

what if we break the rules?
will we still lose?
I wish we won't
cause I love you

Mesopotamia
mark the roots of numbers.
Modern mathematics
moves beyond most minds, but
minimal mastery
makes life much easier.

Multiply, divide, add.
Many functions exist.
Mentally challenging.
Mean, Mode and Median,
Meaningful measurements.
Mastery of the Earth
My worse subject in school.

Most kids learn basic math.
Mastering addition
Makes way for harder things!
Multiplying helps with
Money management and
Measuring while cooking.
More math than that . . . I'm lost!
