Confusing Thumbs For Radiance

An idiot squared,
the schoolchild slowly
counts thick fingers.
Starts over and over
confusing thumbs for radiance.

He leaps beyond sums burning
through a window framing numberless
blue scansions turning over
wing by wing.

Rolling velocity
mindlessly over,
no sums are required,
round is easy.

Vertical extension
beyond thumbs,

everything.
