Nerds

You really love flowers if your heart

beats 1000 times per minute. If you fight

honeybees, outmaneuvering them in the air

flapping your wings 50 times per second

You really love grass if your intestines

stretch 45 meters to hold it. If you grow

4 stomachs to chew 80 kilograms every day

To chew it again after you have swallowed it

You really love numbers if you read them

in everything. If you recognize their patterns to

connect the herbivore to the plant, to distinguish

the hummingbird from the cow. You could be

a quant.
