Nobody

He solves
a non-linear differential equation,
and then counts
all the zeroes,
and one by one drops
the solutions
scattered everywhere
to lose count of numbers.
When he realizes
that some broke
the boundary conditions
he gobbles them and starts
all over.

Author notes

God thinks (...) is a direct indicator of what he does. I expect him to WALK the THOUGHT, atleast. Hence, from what he does, what he THINKS can be determined...

    Yes... you TELL me what he thinks without saying "God thinks". I appreciate that more than you could know, considering some of the early entries in this contest don't even tell me what God thinks at all. lol. Go figure. Loved the poem

    That was ana amazing write! I love the metaphor and the underlying meaning beneath the words. Very clever and well-thought out.

    The first stanza leaves me with images of ping pong balls bouncing everywhere.. I think it's because I need to make the zeros into something to see them as nothing .. [ambidextarity isn't all it's cracked up to be... lol]

    And from there I see them all turn into turkeys running around without a clue what they are doing.. then ..aha! eaten.

    The plate wiped clean, and off we go again but now we are into things that add up into piles of puffy nothing, best likeness in my mind : cotton candy that isn't.

    But from there it sombers a bit into sober and leaves me with the image of a giant circus filled with floating balloons, the chaos of streets, the chaos of stars.. and everything swirling in a giant pot of soup... with a ladle on the side that reads... stir.

    This is so amazing and stunning.
    This is absolutely beautiful, Very well thought out and polished to high perfection. Brilliant piece my friend! loved the form and flow and the rhythm and rhyme are dead on. Captivating piece from start to finish. Don't put down that pen! I love this so much. Keep up the killer work, take care and good luck.

      I don't rhyme, I was born rhyme less. Thanks for your comment and encouraging remark...
