i, An Imaginary Number
i, an imaginary number am,
may have a value, maybe not.
but thought
that I was found
through computing
the square root of negative-one.
Why an imaginary number?
I may be real;
a part of the set
of real numbers R.
But Descartes observed
that no negative real number
can be taken
a square root,
because the square of
a negative number
is a positive number.
His coordinate plate proves it.
The graph of the squares
of all real numbers
is a parabola
facing upward, therefore positive
- nothing below it.
The graph of the square roots
of real numbers
is a curve approaching
to positive infinity from the right,
but if I take the limit
as my values approach the negative side
it approaches zero
...and nothing exists beyond.
No real number
is seen on the negative.
No real value,
therefore imaginary,
therefore i.
If one day,
an ingenious mathematician
could make i real,
i, an imaginary number am,
would be no more.
