The Proof Of Infinity Poem by James Daniel Gabriel

For this experiment in blank verse, you will need a rectangular piece of paper.
Fold this paper in half, so that the seem is long.
Match your corners perfectly, and do not be sloppy or half-hearted.
Symmetry is vital to this lesson,
Yet you should always chose to do it perfectly if it is perfectly up to your choice.

Now folded, with outside corners flawlessly aligned,
Pull a finger down the seem, pressing firmly,
until the crease is crisp as the edges.

Now Imagine this paper is clean.

Lick the paper down the seem.
Turn the pamphlet inside out.
Lick the seem down again.

Remember this paper is clean.

Tear the paper down the seem.
You should have two mirrored halves.
These are no longer pieces of paper.
See them as lines, as what you have.

Now lay one atop the other.
Allow neither to overlap, and what do you see.
One line, like a minus.

Rotate the top line until it forms a cross.
Symmetrical, like a plus.

Lay them beside each other with a space in between them,
Both perpendicular to you, parallel to each other.
Equals again.

You have now proven all that you need to know of time, space and community.
Use this new force within you responsibly.
