To Decline

What is a number? 
The question is so abstract. 
I have spent many hours pondering the nature of the imaginary, 
letting it fill me up until I am too stretched to be solid. 
The books are stacked up on my bedside table. 
Scattered about my bed, 
they are teetering;
they are on the floor.  

We would fall together, 
but I don’t know what falling feels like.

I know some Latin.
I can decline a noun. 

Decline. 

I forgot how the verb is conjugated. 
What is latin for go? 
The Dative, 
to the beautiful Dative  
I am only able to properly construct a goal.
To. 
To..
To…
I lack momentum. 
What is the first person singular of to go?
I don’t remember ever having written it.
