Please try to find the solution to this mathematical enigma...and let me know, if you can

What's the difference…

The difference between the Short Distance's height
And the Long Distance's shallowness drawn tight
Is that neither knows the hollowness of its might
Whichever way they may look: up down left or right

If you went up the shallowness of the one you slight
You'd end up in the hollowness of the other recondite
Or if you slid down the one who stands stiff upright
You're bound to fall screaming upside down in a fright

Either way neither will say unless it was day or night
When Short Distance at last met Long Distance alright
Though neither or either will own up to being really tight
After running a short then a long distance before the fight

If you think you could mock these errant lines downright
I challenge you to disentangle them under darkened light

BRILLIANT, Sandie ! Now just try and put your words in an algebraic equation, and you would/could deserve the "Shackleton" Prize (just invented for your sake) who is reputed to have said, during his polar expeditions, that - as in Eliot's "Waste Land" - there was always "someone" one could see following the expeditionary corps. Must have been your contrapuntally-opposed Pole wandering in the blinding icy wastes after the Prusso-Napoleonic Wars. Thanks ever so much for working this enigma out in your own way, though not quite yet...Every good wish. Be seeing ya... I hope on some Canadian expanse of ice without the Pole?????

If you stand at the north pole and put a pole there, there is no north, east, or west. All you'll see is south. If you go to the south pole and put a pole tnere in the same height, there is no south, east, or west. All you'll see is north. The poles will be same height, same distance, same hollowness, and same shallowness... I guess.
