Perhaps you should go in the other direction and write poetry. It seems youre most of the way there already. Your post is elegant and strange. I had the urge to read it aloud.

I grew up writing poetry. I have a love of words, metaphor, literature, sentence structure, composition (in music as well). But the base form is mathematically expressible, that is the foundation of every perception to me. It's the only thing that can't mutate into something else - it can be used to express that which is not itself, but mathematics is formal structure itself. The symbols and organization are typically just decoration. It either makes sense or it doesn't, in that abstract form. I don't find that kind of unity really anywhere else. I appreciate the compliment, though.
