there’s more
than 1 theory
in string theory, more than 1 dimension too
sometimes 4, others 26
all of which but few
are flat
genus 2 donuts would have less dough
some things are super
symmetrical, quarks
didn’t exist ‘til 1968, my attention span
shortens
to 5 feet 2 inches, when a String smiles back.
it’s intuitive
that 2 quarks attract
when pulled apart. a tachyon
fits cross legged
in a chair. gum pops sing
and the theory is boring without fermions.
strings absorb in the D-branes
of blue eyes
and matching glasses. stray
hairs, electrified with brilliance
warrant cats
that even Schrodinger knows are alive

The lecturer didn't have my full attention... someone else did.
