You! Hey. Good-day. I presume. Pessimistic flu. Hypocritical to annoy. The poor man's Rolls Royce -is the pessimists one good choice. They live with fragility, -unwilling rigidity, -and rarely tranquility. Some weep at morbid memories, -others at faithless fantasies, -do they (or you?) see the precipices -between the then, now and will be? So what if you take a blue bruising back-slap -for your lacking, a juicy reminding -for regretful whining, lifetime timing, -miraculous hopes of a future shining -because you're wasting your time -and not even minding! So listen, or in duller cases, read; -thoughts are naught but mares and dreams, -man made mind transparencies -will's the sum of immediacies -like waiting in your station -but you're deciding the destination -your journey fundamentally what you make it -it's simple but pessimists are complicated -would you not trade freedom for a life you hated? Pessimistic man, forget it Ranting is silly - you just don't get it You didn't see the golden beauty I bet it Gold is copper to you anyway What would Fibonacci say!

φ and his good friend Fibonacci, or '1.618033988749894848204586834...'
You! Hey. Good-day. I presume. Pessimistic flu. Hypocritical to annoy. The poor man's Rolls Royce -is the pessimists one good choice. They live with fragility, -unwilling rigidity, -and rarely tranquility. Some weep at morbid memories, -others at faithless fantasies, -do they (or you?) see the precipices -between the then, now and will be? So what if you take a blue bruising back-slap -for your lacking, a juicy reminding -for regretful whining, lifetime timing, -miraculous hopes of a future shining -because you're wasting your time -and not even minding! So listen, or in duller cases, read; -thoughts are naught but mares and dreams, -man made mind transparencies -will's the sum of immediacies -like waiting in your station -but you're deciding the destination -your journey fundamentally what you make it -it's simple but pessimists are complicated -would you not trade freedom for a life you hated? Pessimistic man, forget it Ranting is silly - you just don't get it You didn't see the golden beauty I bet it Gold is copper to you anyway What would Fibonacci say!
OK, so here is φ completed completely! If you are not aware of it, φ is the golden ratio - considered to be the perfect, most beautiful number. Many things in nature and architecture seem to have been designed by it - I promise if you give it a brief Google you should find it a bit interesting. So as a monument to its awesomeness, the verse and syllable structure of this is based on the Fibonacci sequence - a close cousin of φ, as I'm sure you may discover. There should be more maths poems, but if this is all then I hope you like it. If there are any other patterns here, it was accidental!
