Close Enough - June 6 2025

 

Close Enough

June 6 2025


The margin of error was small,

victory

even smaller.


And because paths diverge,

the further you are

the more angles matter.

It’s geometry, after all

and there are rules.


But on a curved surface

straight lines aren’t.


And who decreed

that only rulers rule,

turns are not allowed,

and the aim was true

release exact?


Or took into account

a random particle

wandering by chance,

or act of will

confounding all the protocols?


Not to mention Zeno’s Paradox.

Which suggests that ends are impossible

aim of no consequence

and margins loom large.


Anyway, you’ll intersect eventually.

If planets sometimes collide

and atoms can be split

why not?

Against all odds

and in the fullness of time

your paths will surely converge

or come close enough to count.
