March Pi-Archimedes #5

mirror, mirror

tell me something
real
give me a reason
lavish
me with your best words
infused with truth…i promise, I can take it

March Pi-Archimedes #4


promises

they are broken
promises
lost is the dream
obliterated
by greedy, power hungry fools
who have forgotten that we are in this together

March Pi-Archimedes #3

a grand legacy

they call me
grandma
mother of their mother
familial
connection, wisdom in the flesh,
never too busy, to lay on the floor coloring

our song

there’s a song
unforgettable
you know the one
remembering
the night danced and danced
to our song…it’s playing always, in my heart

March Pi-Archimedes #1


the art of the spiel

i could be
persuaded
by your idealistic opinions
if
things like reality and facts
meant anything, but as it stands you seem delusional

The background for this series is an Ulam Spiral. The Ulam spiral or prime spiral (in other languages also called the Ulam cloth) is a graphical depiction of the set of prime numbers, devised by mathematician Stanislaw Ulam in 1963 and popularized in Martin Gardner’s Mathematical Games column in Scientific American a short time later. It is constructed by writing the positive integers in a square spiral and specially marking the prime numbers.
