She talked about the Hilbert space,

    That set of vectors, large and small,

And of the special time and place,

    When Galileo watched a ball.

The Einstein portrait in her room,

    Was always sticking out a tongue.

Her mattress made a sonic boom,

    Beneath the place that image hung.

Then Newton’s law was verified,

    Reaction equal and opposed.

A force within which terrified,

    With each assumption I supposed.

Like magnetic fields reversed in sign,

    Contrary natures did attract.

A love both deaf as well as blind,

    So ugly that the mirror cracked.

Thus did our state of entropy,

    Increase, as chaos came to rule.

A perfect crystal cannot be,

    Nor science help the lovelorn fool.

And when we parted that last day,

    Our big bang just a tick in time,

I knew that lust would fade away,

    When I found one, with whom I rhyme.
