I am evaluating myself
What an equation to solve!
Looking algebraically at my reflection
I am evaluating myself
But I don't like the mathematics of it
My ones and twos aren't making threes
I am evaluating myself
Do you mind if I cheat? Can't I not just flip to the back of the book- not even for a peek?
I am evaluating myself
But I have a couple left over and now my working out looks all scribbly
I can't remember how I got to this solution
I am evaluating myself
What did Pythagoras say?
I know he had an irrational fear, maybe the beans reminded him of something
I am evaluating myself But I have a couple left over and now my working out looks all scribbly I can't remember how I got to this solution Your dimensions are outgrown. it is a great realization.. thank you dear poetess. tony
You repeat I AM EVALUATING etc five times but don't get very far. I think you imply the reason for this problem in two passages: WHAT AN EQUATION TO SOLVE and MY ONES AND TWOS DONT MAKE THREES. The first one means your SELF is too complex to be reduced to the narrow limits of this cognitive drill, you have already outgrown its dimensions (Congratulations!) . The second means you need a different evaluation rubric: this mere addition is too narrow, it's not false but it can't possibly measure what you've become. Walt Whitman put it very well in his huge poem of self evaluation, SONG OF MYSELF: DO I CONTRADICT MYSELF? SO I CONTRADICT MYSELF: I CONTAIN MULTITUDES! Amen to that.
You repeat I'M EVALUATING MY LIFE five times but you don't get very far, as you seem to realize. I l think there's an obvious reason for this conundrum and you imply it in two passages:
Ha! Great write and love the slight humor at the closing! Nicely done!

I would like to translate this poem
With an equation of perception evaluating life is definitely an interesting aspect. With working ability you are evaluating self is a great duty. This poem is excellently penned.10
