2=1

2=1

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto


2=1

 

intrinsic geometry

of algebraic intentions,

 

i love your angles

90 degrees smitten

we make perfect parallel lines

and when our lips finally meet

there will be signs and co-signs

of an obtuse emergence of passionate logarithms 

that will lead us into infinity's imaginary number

only worrying about one equation's truth

 

2=1

Parallel love usually ends up with the guy getting Pi- eyed-squared.
The girl usually does a 180-degree turn heading for the hills.
But since life is on the circle line, another girl is bound to turn up at some point.

I found calculus difficult but enjoyed geometry, probably because of the pretty pictures.
I see an unbisected circle fitting your interesting formula and that is how it works around here

Very nice Jacob. Thank goodness there remain some areas that we just cant quantify. Sometimes i get a bit obsessed with numbers, particularly prime ones but love didn't enter the equation. Two becomes one perhaps tells us just to go with our heart.
Regards.

For those who have been head-over-heels in love, this poetical equation makes perfect sense. Excellent wordplay Jacob - and it all adds up to a 'great' read...:-)

Its all about having the right formula! Lovely write Jacob. If someone tells me 1+ 1=5, i just go along with it to avoid any confrontations.

This should go straight to the top of the charts with a bullet Jacob. The signs are always there, but we omit the co-signs and end up looking for the angels angle, and then two does become one.
