Pythagorean Theorem

I want to wrap my Words around your Pythagorean Theorem

to find out what Even felt when first touched by Odd

 

I want you to kiss me with your stableness

and have your numbers make rise my words to your exponents

 

I want to roll my alliterations around your sum total

then make my allegories cement

 

I want you to find the missing words to my right triangle

then balance me out
