Your brain was formed
that way, distinct, unique
computational, quite apart
from all that should have made
you another man, but this is
the man you were: a conjurer
with numbers, a dreamer of
formulas, an inventor of the
new, a solver of the unsolvable,
far-reaching in impact,
reshaping thought
and enduring in legacy,
emerging out of the
ashes of obscurity with
humble notebook in hand
and a passion to deliver what
was placed in your mind.
