But now the huge trick: continued fractions allow you

to go on forever, with infinite nesting, just as we allow

infinite decimals to go on forever.

i. Nest
if you’re talking children

and ordinals

I was 1st
if you’re talking

children and fractions

1 in 4
if you look just at girls

it was 1 in 2
if each unit in a family

is given equal value

1 in 6
not that we were
reality was rationed out

to the powerful
which generates complex equations

hides the damage
in a family of 6, what is the ratio

of care to distance

knowledge to silence 
the longer you follow the pattern

the closer you get 
to the secrets

nested in secrets
lies nested in lies

nested in lies
