Please believe in non- mathematical me

I won't mind being surreal,

if you won't scurry

seeing me in my real self,

and kind enough not to

think of me as outlandish

as something like 'Shrodinger's cat'

kept in a box

that is both alive and dead!

(to the universe outside the box

as the' Copenhagen interpretation' implies,

dont ask me how!)

 

I am least interested in'quantum entanglement'

which i can do without, but oh! mathematics

that mother of all sciences is hell bent, it seems

to hunt me down till I say uncle.

 

They have  told me ,

what I am now

is not mathematically possible!

(whatever it means)

They looked at me as if

I don't exist.

 

(Oh! my poor Shrodinger's cat

I now understand your plight;

oh ! to be both dead and  'undead' theoretically

when reality chooses to go naked!)

 

I just said this:

I have no use to mathematics

that refuses to believe in me

if maths find me unacceptable

all I want to say is this,

how would maths even touch poetry with a barge pole?

and don't forget, maths creates the poetry of the universe!

 

**Oh! I am confused

forgive me for being Buridan's ***

that sees in maths 'Shrodinger's cat'**

 

 

They looked horrified

and in a moment

turned to thick smoke

and dissolved!

Its better to learn to live with the contradictions that exist in the universe; do you believe that you exist?
