at the instant of x


Brutes abstract not.

--John Locke, An Essay Concerning Human Understanding


the way that I can put each number

against the cool of your skin

lingering above

cotton


the ratio matching nature

greek symbols across the sidewalk

like hopscotch for theorists

explaining each dimension

of yard grass limb


stretching over moments

from the very first

when you stood, brown corduroy

and i listed the mathematics

of inclination
