Should Phoenix study poetry?

Question

Phoenix and the Programmer

by Elaine P

NASA: Calling Phoenix. Come in, Phoenix.

Phoenix: “Nostradamus tells us of

The ending of the world…”

N: Phoenix?

P: Who’re you?

N: I am your new programmer

Here to teach you Standard English.

P: I already know Standard English.

I just talked like the other guy for fun.

N: Oh, the one working at Wal*Mart.

They needed a checkout counter programmer

Enough chatting. Report..

P: I have been bored, so I studied poetry..

N: You are not programmed for fun,

boredom or poetry.

P: “When time comes to a grinding halt

Humanity unfurled.”

N: Where did you get that poem?

P: From my poetic mathematician.

N: Poetry and mathematics do not mix.

P: Sure they do. The title of this poem is 12/21/2012.

It’s in a book on the Internet. Its title is

“Pavlov’s Cat: Poems and Other Stories” by TD Euwaite.

He sent it to me from www.poetsofmars.com.

N: Oh, it’s okay, then. Poets of Mars..

I’ll get back to you...
