“1.5.” What did I mean by that?
Something happened between line seven and eight.
I wouldn’t have written it thoughtlessly,
Not in a poem like this.
What did I mean by that?
& hovers above 7,
* above 8.
& is a sort of .5,
But where did 1 originate?

* shines above 8.
& is not unlike .5,
but where did 一 originate?

“1.5.” What did I mean by that?
Something must’ve happened between line seven and eight.
I must have been thinking —

where did 一 originate?

where did 1 originate?

                         * blinks upon 8.
                    & doesn’t look like ½,
