More intuitionist math (Brouwer)

I choose to continue
Or not make a choice as
The water is wet



Each number clings
To its next like water
Beads on oil skin



The choices fan
Out in potential if I
Choose to continue

The thousand leaves of an old knowledge
umbels of its inflorescence, conquer the road edge

and riverbank, it's one of the indecencies of age
that landscape takes on this commemorative aspect.

A still, clear evening.
The waxing gibbous moon is alone in the east.
Sitting on a parapet wall,
a cowherd listens to cinema songs
on his cell phone.

Returning home from evening mass
in the big car,

they were like canal boats then
sliding through the loose gravel, in the back seat

she pushed my cuticles up
with a silver file, not unpainfnully

I left my notebook behind at my house in the suburbs, and went without for a couple of weeks. I typed my journal on my pc. So when I got my journal back, I pasted the printouts of what I had typed recently into the physical journal. Then did my usual calligraphy.

A viscous continuum - L.E.J. Brouwer - Part 2

Is the next number
Included or not is it touched
By the number it separates

Any number is a cloud
Of choices made in counting
As it starts to rain

A viscous continuum - L.E.J. Brouwer - Part 1

Numbers stick to each other
Like glue and choices are made
To separate them

Clouds separate and blur
Hanging in the trees caught
On the valley slopes

A knife divides
A form and fibres are loosened
One from the other
