Angela Brett — A Bunch of Monkeys Read Some Stuff on JoCo Cruise 2017

Richard Scott Crawford introduces Angela Brett (that’s me!), who is pretty awesome, and has a sparkly shirt. I had some chocolate on my lip, which was the style at the time. I recite a poem about mathematics and love called ≥3:

Love is not mathematics and it’s hardly ever less-than-three ❤️
rarely stops at man and woman, straight and gay or you and me
churning contradictions clogging tubes in the definery
that’s turning quantum lgbtqbits into binary

Every single boolean has every state at once
and even if the boolean’s not single it’s still unsettlingly
odd and when it’s not odd then it is not even even, oh my 
god it’s never simple, nothing ever seems to normalise;
I miss the clever symbols in the system that I formalised,
and this I do not understand, it’s just too complicated.
I'm very good at solving so it must be who I dated

Yes, love is not mathematics, but forgive it all confusion
Don’t avoid all that dramatics with the trivial solution
The axioms are ill defined, but may prove good (or may prove well)
for with your love you’re thrilled to find you never have to prove yourself

and then I talk about this poem about love which would be a logical follow-on to it: https://youtu.be/2HkNe3z1_ag

but instead recite a poem about particle physics called Grand Unification: https://angelastic.com/2008/10/05/nine-of-clubs-grand-unification/
