protesting arithmetic - original poem

protesting artithemetic

damn the formulaics

the analytics all bleed the same

we condemn the algorithms

and the artificial networks

mimicking the neural ponds

where fish swim in the human brain

just like how stevia

can never replace sugar cane roots

this ball of rocks and dirt

will eventually abandon you

so we aim our six gun salutes

way up into the cognizant sky

knowing the gusts will create stairways

invisible to unilluminated eyes

only tapping on the doorways

with red circles dripping in blood

or the basement doors 

with upside down pink triangles

the hiding and cryptic hordes

all damn the mathematics

because abstract algebra cannot decipher

four dimensional planes

crashing into molten steel beams

forming handrails 

to our cosmic cobbled alleyways

all twisting and turning like snakes in mud

existing as a fantastical light show above

so we say no more to their derivatives

or the integrals that no longer converge

they now deviate from their boundary conditions

before we can convolute them on the chalkboard

so when do the mystics finally have their day

when will the mathematicians look to the occultists

and finally say

we are sorry for long ignoring your sacred geometries 

it is now obvious the humanness of your arithmetic

let us see these physical planes wrongly

so let's instead tumble and fall hand in hand

into Fibonacci's conserved spiral

with our hearts and souls and our eyes clenched

we will point our toes to the solid ground

which tolerated our love for too long

and search for better futures 

on the unknown glowing spheres above

let's work hard to remain silent 

thankful for our past and future illuminations

piece-wise yet nodally conjoined in their forms

along the staircases intersecting in the skies
