Because it’s PI Day:
pi is perfection with a
loose end
three point one four and so on
without pattern or closure
the precision of a mandala
drawn by a drunk on two martinis
not describing wholeness merely
but thinking odd numbers
spouting them while rambling home
disheveled, irrational, unseemly
as the similar square root of two
at the edge of life
and infinity
