Deep Thoughts
by catnapping

about deep issues:

Mother Mary, stars are falling,
frightened, spent among the beads.
Schizophrenics eating moonpies,
string them on your rosary.

Sixteen candles pierce the frosting,
Every moment tis of thee.
Thirteen Fridays make a season,
Aces four, a symmetry.

Al Khwarismi, Hemachandra
Fibonacci’s Plagiaries
Algebraic Algorithms
invented by Rome’s enemies.

Differential, Parametric,
holomorphic tendencies.
Lunar Cycles, Lunar Tickles,
scribbled incoherencies.

Car-di-nals with absolution,
sacred numbers, counting me.
in a bowl or in a basket
Avogadro, set us free.

Dancing two-step, dancing barefoot,
Dancing Angels on a pin.
Rate-equation, new mutations,
counting toes is not a sin.

I rhymed some words that sounded like
mathematical philosophy.
Sufi Spies and Poet Warriors
got zip on my profundity.
