Some Math by Bill Luoma
Poetry. In SOME MATH, the syncopations of poetry meet the (ir)regularity of mathematical equations. Consider the story problems of high school math class. When encountering the word and, replace it with the addition symbol +. When encountering the word of, replace it with the multiplication symbol x. Now reverse the process. The result is a series of sound poems that both employ and interrogate the global language of systems and networks. Astrophysics. Computer science. Short tetrameters. Long dactyls. 9/11. US military strategy. The energy pathways of acupuncture. The fish ladders of Gmail. The wires and electrodes of torture. The swirling products of global capital. Mathematician Benjamin Pierce called his field the science that draws necessary conclusions. You do the math.
