Birth of Numbers

two became one
one became one half
one half, one quarter
one quarter, one eighth
and the digressions continued
until the number became
so large that no one
could imagine its product
and in that calculation
tiny filaments of energy
were created and movement
occurred so randomly
that side-by-side spaces
were created in which
voids appeared,
waiting for nothingness
to spark their existence.
