Poetry: "Math is Hard"

From mail sent in July 2000, on Mattel's recalling electronic talking Barbie dolls because they (the dolls) said, "Math is hard."

On my pedestal,
Sarcasm won't fit. Can't say
"Math is hard" again.

I'm a computer!
My brain is math. Yours is meat.
I kick ass at math.

Your narrow context
hid my joke. Now I recant,
Like Galileo.
