Australian poet Geoffrey Lehmann is also a writer of children's books and a tax lawyer. This mathy poem comes from his collection, Spring Forest (Faber & Faber, 1994); I found it in the anthology A Quark for Mister Mark: 101 Poems about Science (editors--Maurice Riordan, Jon Turney; Faber & Faber, 2000) -- a collection introduced to me by Australian poet, Erica Jolly.
Not Yet Found by Geoffrey Lehmann
I chose the name Spring Forest
and I've yet to find the spring.
Some unfinished equations
are the closest I've come
to the puzzle of why I'm here.
