The Perplexed Mathematician

He does not understand the unskilled ignorance

that compels, through a kind of coercion,

the almost arrogant and demanding inversion

of the acceptable form of an equation:

it is like an evasion,

proposed by a moron, presented by a dunce.


So the selfcentered entropy idios kosmos

invades, subverts, and ravishes

the peace of the koinos kosmos.
