2 + 2 = Ok, me

By Andrew Felsher
Spring 2022 | Poetry

I opened a gate

like any gate

within a gate.

I found a Language

I found Productive

I found a For Me!

For = Four = 2+2

And 2 + 2 = Ok.

And 2+2 = Assemble.

But 2+2 = Not Streamlined.

Not Streamlined = Assemble It.

Ok = Assemble It!

Streamlined =

Its

2 many

Oks

2 many

Factories to count

Say Thank you

Say Look, a Gap!

Say Ok I’ll Name that

Unfortunately then

build a container

made of sand

and hold it

in a palm

to see
