Laughter and Calculus
A belly laugh, a burst of sunlit air,
unleashing chuckles, shaking loose a care.
It thrives on impulse, the absurd, the quick,
a feather brushing where the logic's thick.
Then calculus arrives, a shadowed room,
where axioms hold sway and silence blooms.
Each step precise, a theorem understood,
a measured climb, built on the proven good.
One celebrates the chaos, bright and bold,
a story whispered, never to grow old.
The other seeks a pattern, clean and stark,
a universe defined within a mark.
They meet, perhaps, when insight strikes so deep,
the laughter’s joy allows the mind to leap.
But mostly they exist in separate spheres,
one born of feeling, one of frozen fears...
and hopes, I guess, that order can be found
in every chaos churning all around.
