Sexaginta Occasion by Jules Nyquist

Sexaginta Occasion

Approaching sixty
is sexagesimal.
Ancient origins

of Sumarians and Babylonians
used scribes to divide 60,
a superior sexagesimal

composite number into a sexagesimal
second Sunday before lent, when troubadourians
prepare a 360 degree circle for spring, a 60th

year of reckoning sexagesimal equations.
