Quadrature of the circle

Now suddenly there are dinosaurs appearing,
and they do tread deep tracks and bite with their jaws
before they disappear again in the distance
and immediately you can realise the impossibility of this.
 
Even when people do say that dodo’s are appearing everywhere
and that they are walking through the woods,
then it becomes a great experience
but in the proof of it
a great lie is exposed.
 
It’s impossible (however you do try)
to only with a pair of compasses and ruler
construct an identical area
than that of a given circle
 
and so I can take this view further
as something containing impossibility.
