SUM
On a blank piece of paper,
I’ve never known when I am finished.
These sentences.
This word salad.
Do they add up to more than what’s on the page?
I never can tell.
But add some intersecting lines
Just. Merely.
Some. Some.
Columns. Rows.
And suddenly all the puzzle pieces fall right into place.
On a spreadsheet,
It’s always clear when I am done.
When the whole = the SUM of its parts.
But is that true?
Or is it just because,
I haven’t tried to say anything more?
