What I found at Infinity by ~Arbulus-Menziesii:iconArbulus-Menziesii:



I saw many curious things when I arrived at infinity -
    I stood at the edge of existence and looked back at everything;
    I grazed in the field where every graph ends;
    I stood at the bottom of a fractal and pricked my finger on the barbs;
    I met the last digit of pi
        a friendly sort, if a bit shy
            his only friends finish e and phi;
    I nearly fell off the Cartesian plane, but caught myself on the end of time;
    I read the complete history of existence.
    I met the largest number and the smallest - and couldn't tell them apart;
    I found the answers to every undefined equation;
    I learned from infinite wisdom and meditated with infinite patience -
But infinity is a curious place, and I would rather stay somewhere a bit more rational, even though
    It's a long walk back.

An account of an impossible trip to a very interesting destination.

Thank you?

English doesn't borrow from other languages. It follows them down dark allies, knocks them over, and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

Haha, what a funny and odd and original way of using mathematical entities in a poem! This is what M.C. Escher would have written if he had been a poet :] The lines/ideas I like best are the largest and the smallest number being indistinguishable, the pun of rational in its mathematical meaning as well as an antonym to curious, and - after that long penultimate line - the short conclusion. "A long way back" that really sums up the reverse perspective from infinity to here ;]

Wow, thanks! Comparing me to M.C. Escher is just about the highest praise I've ever earned. I don't know how meritorious my work actually is, but I appreciate your comment.

It's this kind of surreality, describing/drawing things that are impossible for real, but follow their own at first view realistic logic. You're welcome :]

Very weird, this. Oddly enough, if you reached infinity, you walked a circular path on a straight line. Hope the journey was good ;)

Nice poem! :D

Heh, thank you. How did you find this poem, if you don't mind my asking?

I liked the poem for it's abstractness and open style. Guess it could've had a better ending, but that's just me, I s'pose.. :)

Ha, I suppose I could have been more clear - what I meant to ask was, how did you come across the poem?
