patterns

i've been thinking alot about repetition and design. patterns are everywhere: math, nature, people, art...they are a basic principle of design and how we learn to understand the world. even the breaking of one can still be a pattern. here's a poem playing with the concept.

"most everyone is lousy at math and does that to God--dissects the Indivisible One."--hafiz

i am a principled design
training your eyes
to find the difference
at first blink
L
from there collecting probabilities
a structured framework
on which to stand
a while
O
the day i'm broken (let me be) or
clustered in the rule of odds is
when you dare to rearrange
the furniture of God
V
and in doing so you still have
nothing on the spider web
collect the fragments as you will
it's all the same to me
