For the sixth time, I work on my piem, a poem based on the numeral that make up pi, the title in three words for the whole number 3 (but in number of characters for its usual designation as 3.14), and the poem itself based on the infinite working out of that fraction that is the strange focal point of our obsessive interest in pi. Each word in a piem has the number of letters as a value of a numeral in pi, and the zeros are represented by strophe breaks. This poem itself is about numbers and perception. Somehow I make it an intelligible poem, but one that takes a little effort to ingest and digest. I write this piem only on Pi Day, March 14th (3/14, 3.14).
