Temple Building

Which do you think would be easier,
To write mathematics in verse, or
To write poetry in notation?

Well, then, which would you think more useful?
The greatest potential audience
For both would be vanishingly small.

And why stop with verse mathematics.
Could theology be improvised
As jazz, or history presented

As entirely made of fiction? Plays,
Operas, and symphonies are built
On stages of real architecture.

Could you write an actual one act
Made of nothing but office buildings?
Who could read such buildings through their tears?

Or all at once. The symmetrical
Formula that is a poem that sings
A deity in architecture.
