Set Perpendicular to My Parallel

3D suits me perfectly
with comforting simplicity,                     
while multiverse brane theory
strains my brain till weary.

Poet’s Notes: While fascinated by the many articles I have read in Scientific American on branes and string theory and multiverses, the physics and math leave my head spinning.
