Go Figure : Poetry
This poem is one kind of a spoof on how math fails poetry or is it the other way around? I would say it depends on the point of view when you look at the figures.
Could 2 have passed so quickly?
Which is to say, if you take a good idea and give it a number it loses its identity no matter how well you express it.
Go Figure: 7 ate six
It was bad geometry
The acute symmetry angles
The scalene triangle mentality
Non attractive forces
Projected on my oblate spheroid sexuality
Bisected her spiral
Asymptotic hyperbolic curvature
Our parts were not functionally related
Like hydrophilic tree pairs
We sucked each other’s crystal purity
Tangentially
Touching only at a single point
The low point of relationships
Where our limits went to zero
Our exponents produced one and only one
Identity fixed at the origin
Silent and wordless
Only a number in time
There is a calculus about all of this
Instantaneous derivatives
Rotating centers of gravity
Gyroscopic spinning navigation aides
Integrating Einstein with Bohr
String theory & Big Bangs
Some Xandu where i
Dematerializes a void into a numberless word
Could 2 have passed so quickly?
Which is to say, if you take a good idea and give it a number it loses its identity no matter how well you express it.

Psssst ..your denominator is showing.
It seems 7 and 6 ended up in an orgy of relative theory and quantum mechanics. Utter chaos. No wonder they lost their identity.
Well done.
(whew! and I made it without one big bang double entendre!)
