The Wrong But,

Theoretical Answer[b]No comma needed in this title. Its use is wrong


A precise omission,

That of the most honest division, Capitalising lines is retro, dated, pretentious, faux-poetic and confusing. If you can think of more reasons why you should than why you should not, go to bed happy; though you should still worry about the urge to centre justifySmile

Another multiplication,

Minus some untruthful additions,

The perfect equation, Consider this. You are writing one long sentence. It is inherently unstructured because you are writing as if an equation but forgetting that equations DO have punctuation in the form of operators. The reader needs to know what is to be linked and to what . BODMAS.

Which having solved the most decimal of decisions,

Patterns in geometric,

Numbers

Problems No. It will not do. The idea is flawed by its execution, not its concept.

Unsolved mathematical collisions,

Simply philosophic questions,

That of in vision, Weak line and nonsensical to boot...again, rendered even less effective by the lack of informative context in the line above and below. If this WAS a mathematical moment it would be randomised.

Perhaps

Regular ole’ everyday

Mysticism & superstition

The journey was not worth the destination and the destination is worthless. You must work out what point you are trying to make and work backwords. Imagine that the reader has no idea what the hell you are going to tell him/her. Begin by deciding what you are going to divulge, then so divulge, then summarise your divulgence. Finally, read the whole thing through and knock out duplications, polyfillers ( though in terse-verse like this you have , admittedly, few.), ampersands (typed on a phone?) and non-contributory clauses. Try then to punctuate to clarity. If you only want to please yourself then why post it in the first place. Believe me, the last person to be pleased by any piece is the authorSmile
Best,
