For Jakob

Happy Birthday


Sum is not a homonym
of sun.
but rhymes with my son
greater than all my parts
beloved
numbers
divided
multiplied to a son
with his own sum,
equated.
molecular markers give him
a few symbols
not seen by me
not predicted blond
fair skin
black eyes, but
this is how 3,000,000,000
=1>2, where he started
in 2, who didn’t see 1
as possible.
