All orbits are ellipses
here
I describe an ellipse
around our houses
six hundred miles apart

two focal points and Pi
I went fishing off the bridge
and you brought baked goods

Our history is one of angles
acceleration and angels
where everything is tangent

Form a circle with your thumb and index finger
now look through it at an airplane traversing your sky
that shallow side of an ellipse holds
like water in a cabbage leaf

You will keep your goldfish there
and I will start digging a pond.
