At Swim-Two-Birds asif that wasnt an odd title for a book he pulled this from it “ . . numbers, however, will account for a
great proportion of unbalanced and suffering humanity.
he didnt know if the author Flann
O’Brien was trying to be kind or funny
. . alas, is the case of a poor
man who was very fond of three and who made each aspect of his life a thing of
triads.”
Jesus
he was terribly fond of threes himselfparticularly three-squared 9 he tried his damnedest to make his life comport
with triads also
What was he doing in this Irishmans book
this mock heroic novel of
Orlick Trellis a fiction that he unexpectedly
backed into Ngugi wa Thiong’o’s Wizard of the Crow “ . . there are many theories about the
strange illness of the Second Ruler of the Free Republic of Aburiria, but the
most frequent on people’s lips were 5.”
five
three
3 & 5 are prime numbers
prime numbers have only two factors 1 and themselves indivisible by whole integers
whenever it occurred to him usually provoked by others that he was odd he paused their
conversation and without explanation he announced Flann O’Brien and waded through Ngugi
wa Thiong’os name undoubtedly butchering his Bantu name that is spoken by the Kikuyo
of Kenya
whenever he rolled up his pants to keep them
dry while he wade in water they fell
he didnt know why he
bothered
some habits die hard
