The Math Mortician
       

Instead of bodies, he sees numbers,
readies them up on time’s table,
dresses them in brackets,

uses algorithms over aspirate
to extract each variable,
hypothesizes infinity is but an empty set,

and life an interval between two ends,
whose value isn’t absolute,
when death’s the only constant.
