Math Falls to Someone Else’s Knees

Addition by subtraction
it's a multiple miracle
times one times one
one at a time
gives math to inaction.

Stasis sparseness spaces
geometric with hats
to carry theory on the
proof-back
a turtle universe
most of the way down.

Squirrel-active season
digs deep treespawn
as winter seeds 
slow molecular velocities
and convict leaves
who didn't plan to fall.

Each math has its reason
its summer for curves
and spring for swerves
until engineering hubris
scrambles perfection
into acceptability's skillet.
