fill-t habits

mathematics tradition has assigned

the lower-case t

to designate time

and the greek letter ∆ [delta]

to mean change of or a change in,

while the lower-case v

designates velocity,

and so ∆v/∆t is acceleration,

being a change in velocity

over a change in time.

unsurprisingly,

a change of philosophy over a change in time

is outside the scope of mathematics.

for what it’s worth, though, I am always

more optimistic after a long,

refreshing shower,

reflecting a change of philosophy

over a change in grime.
