A POET HOMESCHOOLS: WEEK 6- FRACTIONS

To make ocean, add earth.

To make earth, add air.

To make air,

add tears, 1⁄2 cup.

*

Half of half is nothing.

To get the total,

do not add the halves. To get the total, subtract everything.

*

Add back: light consequence gusset plume

spite

*

Half the ocean is coral. Half the sky is geese, which contain multitudes.

*

Half of me is ocean. Half of me is sky.
