In the beginning - OpenTank O (O) ((O))

In the
Beginning,
There was
1:
Lonely, not the
Only 1.
When 1
Met another,
What an
Obvious
Sum, that
1 + 1
Is not
2, but
1.
In due
Time, in new
Math, it
Came to
Be that
1 +
1 would
= 3.
Equations
Die hard
When change
Is a
Constant,
Shifts
Occur over
Time, happen
Instant by
Instant.
Formulae
Need to
Grow, to
Accommodate
Difference;
Sum, not
Division will
Multiply
Eloquence.
So it’s
Also true, and
Sad, and
Blue that
2 -
1 =
less than
1
And not
As much
Fun, so
Why not
Stay as
1?
