god is the god of trigonometry

in a late night barefoot

with a cup of tea and a pencil

taking five hours to learn that

a=nr^2sin(180/n)cos(180/n)

and finally understand that no,

there's no end to pi

any more than a circle has sides

but we'll keep chasing the digits down

a million isosceles triangles in a row

a million to the fifth, the tenth, the nth

the godly number, irrational

the number of radians in a laughing eye

a semicircle, a unit-circle star of shine

a=nr^2sin(180/n)cos(180/n)

where n is infinite, and a is the area

of the surface of the cosmos –

no, it's not rational.

reason has nothing to do with it.
