Ode To Leverage

Ode To Leverage

Life be an exercise
in applied geometry

Playing the proper angles
for the best point of entry

Fitting divergent pieces 
to make our puzzle
into a sensible outcome
to match and someday exceed
our load bearing expectations 

All the varied combinations
and creative leverage permutations
added to the positive possibilities
of our human equation
making us greater
than the sum
of our perceived limitations

I'm reading a lot of fantastic poems. You did a fantastic job here with the timing of the poem, very quick paced and powerful toward the end. 

Favorite part: 

All the varied combinations
and creative leverage permutations
added to the positive possibilities
of our human equation
making us greater
than the sum
of our perceived limitations

The last line is powerful and very true. 
Nice way to add numbers to poem and shape.
