Quod Erat Demonstrandum?
For once in my life, I would say somebody dug too deep into what I was inferring in my poem. I was merely writing about an origin and a destination. I just tossed in the nonsensical math bit about point a meeting point b bla bla bla to demonstrate how ignorant the motivations for avoiding progress often are, at least in my observation of older people close to me. These people always try to sputter off mathematical or scientific facts that make absolutely no sense to support lofty claims of their own. so maybe you didn't dig too deep, you just didn't realize the portion discussing math was supposed to be another voice. as you can see, the speaker of the poem is having dialogue with someone else, there aren't always quotations because some of it is stream-of-conscience. As for my earlier comment about "discriminitive and narrow-minded?" a bit of irony on your own part, i was jokingly taking offense to your comment and you bit the bait.
