Numerical Oceans Floating On Logic


Numbers come from a singularity at sea

Grow into oceans numerically speaking

Fluent in the foreign language of Chronology

Born from an original source sequentially conceived

Sometimes repeating calculus because they can


Starting out as the number one and counting

Figures break down into fractions

That hatch from shells on the banks of logic


Mathematical equations have solid names

John and Mary are not among them

Algebra is also not related at this time

However, Algebraic expressions seem human

When written as a quotient of polynomials

Rational and irrational as they may appear


Numerical oceans floating on logic surround us

It is hard to grasp such fluid objects in motion

Chronological or otherwise they still come

One after another exponentially counting down

Dividing by ten to get to the sum of the day
