October 19: It's been over a hundred days since my last entry, but I'm back. For one day, at any rate. I do expect to return again every once in a while, but can't guarantee it. Of late I've had slight urges to sound off here on one thing or another, but not quite the energy to. I continued in my low-energy state since leaving, although I rose out of it a little at times, once for perhaps as long as three days. I didn't feel out of it two days ago, but was bored enough to visit Paint Shop, for the heck of it. Nothing in mind, but I soon had a new mathemaku in progress. I liked the final draft well enough to touch it up yesterday and today--and post it here:
This is pretty much a direct expression of my philosophy regarding the value of division. The long division of that which allows division by near-nothingness. The balloons are an allusion to Cummings's balloonman. All the words are coherent and rationally inter-related.
I'm somewhat bothered by its being just one more twist of one of my oft-repeated themes, and that I have so few central themes. That Stevens had no more cheers me, though.
