a reverse valentine

you have angles, octagon, and i understand, i have a few of my own. i am a dodecahedron, and i have a lot of them. angles. i like knowing you are out there, with your equilateral lines, your concurrent angles, your sensible symmetry. i am irregular, some dodecahedrons do that, as you probably know, and a person would be hard-pressed to find a single axis of symmetry in me anywhere. this does not mean i am not without beauty, as you have observed. we are different shapes and structures, and our planes cannot cross in more than a flat field, but how magnificent is such an intersection. be beautiful, octagon, it is nice knowing that there are shapes like you, and this is enough for me, and perhaps even the best, because all things run their course, even geometric figures.
