Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week, in honor of American Independence Day (July
4th), is America.

A poem for American Independence Day (July 4th) about
calculus and dreams:
America can never be America.
Maybe no nation can ever be America.
Each nation can approach it fervently,
Reaching halfway, then halfway, then halfway.
In approaching dreams, there is no calculus
Calculating how one might finally reach one.
A good thing. Calculus is the death of dreams.
