one smoot
No_Length times Width divided by one-hundred & forty-four
How many inches do my scalloped feet have to traverse to reach for one square meal a day?
So little mass in a massive expanse of time and breath to calculate the rectangular footage
necessary for nominal survival.
It appears, though, within a spiritual astrophysical frontier neither linear time nor light years
prevent an awakened revival.
An absolute is fact:
Zero times zero
Equals
Nothing.
What then,
Does zero compassion within the confines of linear space equal?
Indeed,
What then?
How much time will it take for the human race to feed the homeless of earths outer space?
Perhaps
It is equal to ONE SMOOT * .
Length times Width divided by one-hundred & forty-four. . .
. . .awaiting for the concrete answers, optically.
***************************************
* The smoot /ˈsmuːt/ is a nonstandard, humorous unit of length created as part of an MIT fraternity prank., .
One smoot is equal to Oliver Smoot's height at the time of the prank, 5 feet 7 inches (1.70 m)
