Number Manipulation

is number manipulation
the child of necessity
that outgrew its parent?

or are they complements
each for which the other
could not exist? 

Fondness Imbalance

within one revolution
of the large hand
she becomes the benefactor
of my aimless prayers
   my dimensionless hopes
   my tired, ebbing wishes

her plight
benign as it may be
becomes mine
as i become the adopted father
of a worry
that may or may not exist

and my troubles mount
   uneasiness swells

until completion

thrown into question
i can't answer the
question (((can you answer the question?)))

a list of truncated tho| ughts
unchecked are all (blank)
incomplete by eye...or I
unprocessed by mind

petty worries abound
in collection
and
and
and
unprocessed they remain
and remain they shall

&once
another day
another time
completion
