What are we required to prove?

Q.E.D.
(Quod Erat Demonstrandum)

by Amy Fogelstrom Chai

That which must be demonstrated
Is never what we think;
Angles, sections, slices, arcs fall
Neatly, in Euclidean order.
Time marks every palm and etches each eye— Geometry

That which must be divided
Is never what we expect;
The numerator stands, needing no other
Until, completed by another
One divides one, the solution remains--Unity

That which must be comprehended
Is rarely what we see;
Answers seem beyond our grasp
And will be, unless together
We seize the compass, and trace the heavens--Infinity

And what are you and I required to prove?
Nothing
