Figure 8 from REFLECTION by Laura Scarborough


Figure 8 is double 4
Figure 4 is half of 8.
If you skate
you would be great
if you could make
a Figure 8
A circle that turns round upon it’s self

1 times 8 is 2 times 4
4 times 4 is 2 times 8
If you skate
upon thin ice,
you’d be wise
if you thought twice
before you made another single move.



Figure 8 is how you skate,
circle back but i don’t wait.
Cannot make the same mistake,
Figure now - Figure late.
A circle that turns round upon itself.

Figure 8 is double 4
Minus 2, there’s not much more.
If you skate good luck to you
1 times 1 - does not make 2.
The math just doesn’t add up anymore.
