About Me

Biography is either masked ball or epitaph. As you find me, so we are.

Tetra


Lay out the atlas, splay the globe
The surface values four
In plain division,  Let us probe
Why quartet can’t be more.

Upon a surface place a dot
A circle we may name
Divide its edges to allot
Triumvirate space game

Number the contact fractions fine
To triumph draw again
Find now how with a further line
Distinct four colours plain

The limit: A four-valued gate
Of quaternary scheme
No further way to separate
So five might join the team

The twisting turns of nucleobase
With C, G, A and T
From simple forms a complex race
Provokes humanity.
