Notes About The Poem
(This poem was written to reassure the poet's best friend who needlessly suffers from the Reverse Dunning-Kruger Effect, a cognitive bias where people with high ability, expertise, or experience regarding a certain type of task or area of knowledge tend to underestimate their ability or knowledge. The best friend, the poet feels, unnecessarily suffers from the Reverse Dunning-Kruger Effect for high performers because of low self-esteem caused by childhood bullying by both peers and teachers in both lower and upper secondary school.)
Two Brilliant Peas in a Pod
We're off the charts alone! But we're
more off the charts together—a fact
that's evident and plainly clear.
Though opposites, they say, attract,
we are apart (but we adhere,
as two best friends who interact).
Each one more than one in a billion,
you and I rule the normal curve:
a point that's no sin or rude penillion,
but a blessing that we both deserve.
More than one in a hundred quintillion
together, we're the Federal Reserve!
We are like two peas in a pod,
with brains in quantum entanglement.
It's spooky how chance works, and odd,
how two minds so intelligent
can intersect in life. Only God
can be this good and benevolent!
