it was correct by construction
stretchy compactness
continuity
we wrote numbers in the sand
watched the glass dance of entropy
against tired eyes
until our vision blurred
remaining only feeling
legs crossed in a field
blade of grass
simplification is hard work
it's clear there is no enemy
but misunderstanding

- haskellandchill 8y agoReferences to Dijkstra "Simplicity is a great virtue but it requires hard work to achieve it and education to appreciate it.", Greek and Indian sand-based mathematics education, and a bit of constructivists and grappling with topology and analysis.
- deedree 8y agoPerfect fit. Did you write this yourself? If no, may I know where it's from?
- haskellandchill 8y agoWrote it. Used to be a poet. Not my best work heh.
