7 March 2004. Today a mathemaku I thought up yesterday. I almost didn't bother to make it because it is so straight-forward and simple. This is the kind of thing one does when one has mastered the central elements of a form and enough stylisms and subjects to fill out a poem on automatic. I tell myself that just because I can't get much out of entry-level mathemaku, others might. And, who knows, maybe this is a good one. I sort of like it, myself.
