A circle can be defined 
as the curve 
traced out 
by a point 
that moves 


so that its distance 
from a given point 
is constant,


 known since 
before the beginning 
of recorded history


the wheel, which, with related inventions 
such as gears, circles still, 
makes much of modern 
civilization a possibility,


inspiring the development 
of geometry, 
calculus, 
and astronomy, 


which of us 
would exist?


how much of what we do 
could be possible 
without circles?
