For all his gleaming art and theory,
the numbers running fugue and descant,
a constant counterpoint, those demon
digits, ten familiars, alphabets,
the archangels of his religion,
for all his Mozart mathematics,
he hadn’t heard of Chinese nines.
He calculated me in complex
curvatures of line and point, angles
of insertion and pure distraction.
He showed me three axis dimensions
and inside all the science, we found
one always ends up counting on one’s
fingers.

Where are you going with this, I wondered, till you hit me with that punch line, uncomplicating all of Gödel's work.

Four only in relation

to your previous poem. Again, elegant and lovely would be the terms I would use to describe it. The Godel reference is puzzling, though. I don't see that. And I am presuming "Chinese nines" does not refer to a Beijing baseball team. :)
