Winner of the Ship of Fools Poetry Contest


"Whole"

By: Andrew Kafoury ‘15

Written in dactylic trimester

 

Point nine repeating seeks to be whole,

To be a positive integer.

Point nine repeating has just one goal,

To be paired with point one aflutter.

 

Whole - Point nine never will on its own.

It is doomed to go on endlessly.

It will advance, but just with a clone,

By duplicating infinitely.

 

Point nine lives on, but just by itself,

Waiting for point one repeating to

Come by and summate together to shelf

The void, the bond is now tight as glue.

 

Point one may seem insignificant,

But it is the perfect supplement

For point nine such as that they form one.

Gladly together, their goal is done.
