Wow, I don't normally enjoy poetry, but I like this. It's simple and about math. The simplicity of it is what makes it flow with a steady beat. I can honestly say, I wish I could write poetry.
I found something mathmatical (surprising, I know, aha) and primitive about the steady beat this maintained. It was absolutely gorgeous. And the words you chose? Well, not only where they beautiful by themselves, but joined together in these few short stanzas, they were incredibly amazing at depicting the message deep inside the heart.
This might just be the best thing you've ever written.
You took something so... non-poetic, math, and an opposite, passion, and turned it into something amazing.

This is my favorite stanza.
'realizing there is no solid ground on cloud nine' sounds like something straight out of a Death Cab song.
Excellent.
Srsly, you're always the one to get me emotional with your poetry, just the words sinking into the back of my eyes, staring at this computer screen is like nothing else.
