Rationalism
Rationalists, wearing square hats,/Think, in square rooms,/Looking at the floor,/Looking at the ceiling./They confine themselves/To right-angled triangles./If they tried rhomboids,/Cones, waving lines, ellipses —/As, for example, the ellipse of the half-moon —/Rationalists would wear sombreros.
