Below I repeat a syllable-square first posted on 18 August 2010 and included in Red Has No Reason. Today, Valentine's Day, stand up and support "One Billion Rising" -- end violence against women.
More than the rapist, fear
the district attorney,
smiling for the camera,
saying that thirty-six
sex crimes per year is a
manageable number.
Since this is a poetry-with-math blog I will end with a mathy observation: this is a poem of 36 syllables that includes the number 36, a perfect square.
