“Infinity is plus on plus on plus
And cannot be conceived without addition;
And even when you take away, it’s thus,
And thus it stays – division sans remission.”
In childhood I would stay awake and think
And such profundities were common then;
And thus I linked my life – and link on link,
I chained my days within my youthful ken.
Forever then my ever-adding soul
Could not therefore divide from this and that;
For part and part were both apart and whole
In earth and seas and skies; I wondered at
The starry nighttimes that encased my days –
My endless days – from then to endless always.
