Briefing
Petty minds think arithmetic thoughts
in units of dollars and cents
and strive to quantify the world
in spread sheets, plus and minus,
projected on the wall in power points
with charts, barred and pied,
in 2D surfaces, blue, red, and white.
The curvature of light
through gravity's lenses
cannot be computed by
their bars and pies and thus
must be of no importance.

Oon, nice, Gary. **
Seems that way.*
* So much cannot be computed, eh? It's such a fine thing that we can all think so differently and yet understand each other, isn't it?
I would jump up and down shouting HELL YES, but the big guy sitting nearby who does nothing all day but stare and his "smart"phone, giggling occasionally, undoubtedly would put a stop to it. *
