infinity ad nauseam
no end no
beginning
symbolism borrowed from mathematics
empowerment
and expressions of never-ending love
an overused, pretentious icon whose end is long overdue

The Pi-Archimedes verse is:
○ a hexastich, a poem in 6 lines.
○ measured by the number of words in each line 3-1-4-1-5-9 to match the numerical sequence of the first six digits of Pi.
○ unrhymed.
Pi=3.14159…

I read that the infinity symbol has become a joke. Jewelry everywhere and it seems to be the go to tattoo for white women. So much so that you can find jokes about it!

Really? I had no idea. My introduction to the symbol was in the early 60’s as part of the intro to the old “Ben Casey” TV show–do you remember? He was a doctor, and his mentor would draw a number of symbols on a blackboard: man, woman, maybe life and death, and Infinity was the last one. It seemed so sacred to my young mind then! The “go-to tattoo for white women”…good grief! I don’t have tattoos, so I won’t be sporting it 🙂 Thanks for educating me!

PS: now that I read up on lemniscate–infinity symbol in algebraic geometry, I’m wondering if you’ll make a new poetry form from it 🙂 🙂
