Poetic Mathematics

8 to get you started
16 packed in neat boxes
3 or four strays
2 tunes without notes
39 and counting to commemorate a year

My work reduced to numbers
and amounts of Kilobytes
There are pieces for almost every month
mostly they find themselves in autumn and winter's grip
Each season of year and life has been poured out
for the interest and criticism of others
There's been creations for when Creation has passed
made for the remembrance of a legacy
Words capturing love, anger, awe, praise, despair, confinement
written in classrooms, coffee houses, bedrooms, basements
But overall, the life of these poems,
have been encased in a box with a glass screen and florescent bulb
