Punctuated Pi
October 27, 2014
Pi is my twin.
We are irrational and complex.
No one understands us
In our infinite minds. Hell,
We don't even understand ourselves.
They shorten us down:
3.14 and Meg,
But that does not come in reaches of our limitations.
A tiny point tries to end our thoughts.
But just as I learned from pi
My imaginations flow beyond the dotted punctuation.
Even after the wind stops blowing
And no music is heard,
We continue.

4.5/5 what i liked about this piece was that it was different. very interesting comparison that i have not heard before. "they shorten us down: 3.14 and Meg." Smashing, loved that part. the only complaint would be the "hell we dont even understand ourselves" I felt like it kind of broke up the poem a little. idk i felt like it didnt fit in so well, other than that, i loved it :))
