Books of numbers.
Rulers of words.
What encumbers
their halves and thirds?

Such a difference

certain amount.

A mixed marriage…
story problem
thought experiment
Sentence? Column?

Equal valued
symbols create —
enable us
to estimate.

NOTE: Today’s high point was a telephone conversation with a faraway and beloved friend about the wonders of zero. 0.

Z + E + R …all are < O.

Inside. Outside. Point. And, of course, field.

What’s your zero? There is so much more there than you realize!
