Math Poem 2 (Free verse) by Dovina

A city of ones, loosely connected, never satisfied, until one and another one united as one flesh. Soon, they felt not just as ones, but a new thing too, and they called the new thing two— 1 + 1 = 2. The Reverend George Boole found the ones proclaiming two and declared them not a new thing, for theirs was no addition. No, he said, they had committed AND, become a logical one, the same sort of one each of them had been before, 1 AND 1 = 1 or stated liturgically, 1 • 1 = 1. But the ones mocked the Reverend, for thinking ones could so unite as to become another one. So they lived as two, remembering the ones they were and still were— 2 = 1 + 1.

What the hell are you talking about? This is just shit. Mathematically, this poeme is uninteresting. Unless you're fascinated by the fact that not all operators are identical. Poetically, all you've done is sprawl out this observation in a stupid, non-rhyming, tedious blanket of guff.
