things found

                                                   
                                                       
   Earlier today while searching for a something
I never did find, I found three math papers I had
written in March of 1966 while at The University
of Iowa striving to complete my MFA.  One is dated
March 8, 1966 and the others March 5, 1966.  What
moved me to haunt the university's math library
was a magazine article about a certain genius in
Michigan.  Think he was 12 at the time.  Topics
of the 3 papers were Fermat's Last Theorem (which
I was certain could be proved geometrically), a
way of calculating the 90 degree arc of a circle
without using Pi (which upon inspecting today I
think I messed up); and due to Cantor, several   
axioms on infinity.                             
                                                    
Also re-found my copy of Mouth of the Dragon: 6,
a publication I have because a poem of mine is in
it.  I have its location marked by the by the cover
of the Guild Guide 1973  USA & INTERNATIONAL.
You can imagine, if you care to, why I kept that
cover.  It wasn't to bookmark where my poem is.  In
paging through MofD 6 I came upon six poems written
by Jonathan Williams: "Plain, Unrefined", "Country
Matters", "Newcastle", "Notting Hill", "Resolute"
and "Gunsmoke".  He has a sense of humor that just
won't quit.                                          
                                                 
Found some other items I needed to find, but now    
my bed is a jumble of junk.                       
                                                     
                                                     
I am a strange concoction.
