I lose the language to speak to my bodyso I pick up math for its new notation. I wear out fingernails & nights on graphpaper & learn matrices, determinants, sets. The best part is that I’m no good at math,never have been. I tire professors & scrap paper,exhausting notebooks with errors & paperingmargins with graphite. Tattooing the clean bodyof a proof with eraser scrubs & messy math. To improve my reasoning, I bring notationinto my routines.
