Pi
pi is perfection with a
loose end
three point 1 four and so on
without pattern or closure
the precision of a mandala
drawn by a drunk on two martinis
not scribing wholeness merely
but thinking odd numbers
spouting them while rambling home
disheveled, irrational, unseemly
as the similar square root of 2
at the point of life and infinity
