We are the very refuge for
These numbers we call ours
It is said that God is known
As the greatest of the greatest
Mathematicians and his very
Language is the transcription
The earth’s radius: the latitude
And longitude we so cleverly
Thought was ours: provincial
Perhaps as we enter now into
This our numerical abyss where
Poems are no more than code
Read by the very men who at
One time wrote the poems
