start from here

read

downward slowly

 

please

 

leave your reflection

to the mirror it is more practised

at it

besides who cares what you

 

think about these pi eyed

 

lines falling

wherever they will

according to chinese myth maths

where twenty two over seven can

be as irrational as these lines
