Each granule in the sugar cube

hides the tessaract within.

Time breaks the rule of three

of Grimm and Christian lore.

A wrinkle in time,

can cause a fault in reality,

a particle wind

may divert time’s arrow

and who knows where

it will fall.

The tesseract is to the cube

as the cube is to the square

as the square is to the line.

The dot is to the circle

as the circle to the sphere

as the sphere is to the

infinite polychoron -

and this my friend,

not the torus,

nor any kind of egg,

is the shape

of the universe.
