as close as it gets

 

 

the sexiest poem

i ever read

involved numbers

 

which made

nothing but sense to me

we're messy

imprecise at best

 

both sides of the equation

rarely balance

sometimes they approach equilibrium

 

.99999 

as an example

the last .00001

is hard to come by

You have to accept what you can get. .99999 is awfully good. Besides, math is a crutch. It's meant to assure finite minds that they can comprehend the infinite.

. . . the infinity of pi, or dividing endlessly by half and never coming to the perfection of nothing. I've always preferred the shifting connotations of words to the fixity of numbers.
