Larry Lesser: Poem [1]
April 4, 2016Margins
I.
Fermat claimed the margins
of an ancient Greek
text could not contain
his remarkable proof
of a theorem
centuries would finally yield
the wiles to prove
by other means.
II.
Intersectionalities
bring uniqueness near, a long
way from the average
man of Quetelet.
III.
The surgeon took more and more
pancreas:
never finding clarity,
he took it all.
