POEMIZE THE MATH

For Anna Lund

***

They say one only can be wise,
If able to mathematize.
But what really underlies,
Is the failure to alphabetize.

Our numbers are arabicized,
A language to be more precise.
So is everything programmized,
Just language, oversimplified.

So maths freaks, wouldn’t it be wise
To speak in poems, homogenize,
Don’t let us feel lobotomized
Let’s feel the love, romanticize!
