What is Mathematics?

Greek Mathema...


To study...
Every inch inked into existence
Inhale, exhale
The simple alphabet of motions
In life's exquisite equation

Sanskrit Matha
Monastery...
An acre in the anatomy of an atom
In whose quantum chambers
Reclines radical theorems
that thinker's thread
To tailor time, to centre space.

Kemetic Ma'at
Algebraic Alchemy
Beaming binary
Of Cosmic cause of course
that cut all things coarse
Dimensions of dancing derivatives
Eternity's excellent epistemology
Fate's flowering fission
Gold's gallant glow
Hatchepsut's herbs harping heavenly harmony
Infinity In Imhotep's Inkpot
Javascript joints of the Jacobian Matrix
Al Khwarizmi's algorithmic allegory
Luminous layers of logic
Mice mazed in magic squares
A nebular of numerals knit into
Ocular occult ornaments
poured out poetically into prose
contemplations quarried by Quantum Quail
Resplendent roots
brewed in Sapphire spaces
the tension taught by ticking triggers
uncivilised unilateral usurpation of the universal urn
vengeance violins violet violence
Wagadou's wombs waters weigh weighty words in wait
of Solutions to expiate X
For Malcolm's Zealous Mathematics
Has zoned us into the Zillionth power petaled by Zero
