('Writing is the geometry of the soul.')
– Plato
A soul does not have
a hypotenuse
though there are, of course,
conflicting views.
Plato, for instance,
said geometry
had something to do
with poetry.
I haven’t a clue
what he meant by that –
he usually spoke
right off the bat.
I guess he’s saying
if the angle’s right
it will all add up.
If not, rewrite.
