Physics of Poetry

Saint Paul, 11 December 2007

Have you been pressured to buy

the extended warranty?

In the physics of poetry

one would lucidly analyze

fundamental principles of physics

to draw parallels to

the latest discoveries

in cyclotrons

One might blend fact with phenomena

one might examine a line break as a simple projectile

one might examine a baseball in motion

one might pose questions like:

What effect do stitch patterns

have on wind resistance?

The answers are sometimes illuminating

and often surprising
