Recently Rattle posted a wonderful mathy poem by Diana Rosen entitled "Mathematics and Molé."  Here's the first stanza:
     Mathematics and Molé     by Diana Rosen
     Numbers flicker in front of my eyes as
     I give him my full attention.
     Differential geometry explains the black hole, he says.
     It’s very obvious.
     I lean forward to catch his words,
     my chin in cupped hand,
     eyes intent on his, yet
     thinking of Mexican food.
     Mathematics is the language of science, he says.
        . . .
Rosen's complete poem is here.
