Secret Life of Geometry
Elliptical references of circles long since abandoned
An unfortunate lengthening; reshaping, morphing
The weight of waiting settled on the circumference
Pressure redistributing the radial vectors
Supportive spokes reduced to focus points
Rectangles reminisce of their former squares
When equality was a side by side by side by side event
Cubist aficionados weary from an elongating parallelogram
Lengths meant for stacking, building, surrounding
Graphs unsupported in their framework by design
Angles aplenty, but jangled and tangled
Isosceles, scalene, obtuse, and so very few rights
Equilaterally reminiscent along the square template
Side, side, side, and nothing more to be counted
Acutely covering the remainder, yet so often wrong
Pentagonal dieting with trapezoidal goals
Instability a trapezium of non-conformity
Point pinching a method of creation
Squares under the microscope revealed
Rhombus, rhomboid, parallelogram kite
One dimensional platform where flat remains flat
Ignorance without purpose or lack of understanding
Cubes and cones, prisms and spheres, and cylinders
Origami the new interpretation as we plan
Observations of that which was uncovered
The dark side of the moon representative
What’s hiding behind the silence of the sphere?
Or painted on the reverse of the cube?
The slope of the pyramid triangulates
Forward and upward the indicated direction
Constructive connectivity through geometry
Expanding on simplicity, revealing complexities
Softening analytically while introducing technicalities
What it is that should be, of what we shouldn’t see
Arrangements no longer linearly or scholarly
Questioning the volumes, lengths, and areas
Euclidean practicality chaotically disrupted
What appears current, but an ocular myth
Everything in sight determined previously
Yet the shortfall always nearing infinity
