Math Poem (Free verse) by Dovina
1-1 = ½-½ 2–2 = 1–1 Taking half from half is the same as taking two from two. ½/1 = 1/2 2/4 = ½/1 Half of a thing is the same as a quarter of two. (Hang in there, follow the symmetry.) 1*1 = ½*2 ¼*4 = 1*1 Half of two things is the same as a quarter of four. ½+1½ = 2+0 1+1 = ½+1½ Two and nothing more is the same as one and one. Subtract, divide, multiply, add. Zero, half, one, two. Can you equate the series? I wish the tools were here to render clearly, math expressions eloquently— integrals, Laplaces, differentials— love, hate, fear. It’s like painting with a greasy finger. I wonder how van Gogh might have written a poem. Yeah, I know— with a gun in a wheat field.
