4 + 5



(I omit subtraction,
division and fractionation.)

For 'fun', it's 8 + 1;
for 'shoe' 7 + 2.

We can easily see, it's 6 + 3.

One more: 5 + 4.

It's fine as 9,
the single-standing figure
than which
no other solitaire
is bigger.

It's thrice three for 'poetry'.

For relief,
it's 1 + 8,2 + 7 and 3 + 6.

For 'we arrive', it's the title.
