Down the rabbit hole <br />We go and go, <br />Following infinite <br />Decimal rows <br />Of pi's expansion - <br />Three point one four, <br />One, five, nine, two, <br />Six, and so much more... <br />Going down <br />Through the <br />Infinite <br />Doors... <br /> <br />And no janitor <br />Can stop us now, <br />As we keep going <br />Through sigmas <br />And taus, <br />Stopping to ponder <br />The value of phi- <br />Half plus a half <br />Of the square <br />Root of five. <br /> <br />Perfect geometry- <br />Golden rectangles, <br />Circles and squares, <br />And we form an angle <br />That cuts an arc <br />Of 120 degrees <br />And of 180 <br />When we disagree. <br /> <br />But you and I, darling, <br />Could never be square, <br />For we are well-rounded <br />And well aware <br />That the truth lies <br />Somewhere between <br />Zero and one, <br />Where a small <br />Chance of <br />Winning is <br />Still better <br />Than none. <br /> <br /> <br /> December 11,2006<br /><br />Alexander Shaumyan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/down-the-rabbit-hole-of-mathematical-uncertainty/
