Fibonacci’s Secret
One
one
two, it
starts small but
grows large, like always.
Numbers line up like toy soldiers
dancing rows down the page, a scramble of leaf petals
and multiplying rabbits- his complex world simplified to a ratio. He loves
to wrap his mind around like a skein of yarn, twisting over the digits as if in a restless sleep. The lucky son of Bonacio,
blessed from birth as the genius of Pisa . Numbers move, fluid as melting ice in spring.
Raucous crowds pass beneath his bedroom window, but they
don’t hear him whisper: “Only I
know the formula
for the true
secret
of
life.”
