Inequality - تباين

Numbers, numbers, each in their own world of numbers, here thousands, there tens, each creating their own small share of comfort in an ovoid world that nonetheless manages to spin. When Battuta moved in this world his numbers lifted him above so many others, the standing ones, the ones creaking along. And yet, and yet! the world laughed as loftier numbers hurtled lushly past. Battuta hunkered in their wake, only slowly remembering how his number loomed to the tiniest of numbers around him.

So fragile it all is: an inch here, a decimal there, an instant vanishing.

But today, in the cloudless limitless sand ocean, the sum, the sun, all hold steady.
