TOPOLOGY
Which of these are equivalent:
a cup with a handle,
a night of drinking,
a bloody nose?
Figures deform into each other
given certain assumptions.
A parasite can make a rat careless
in the proximity of cats.
Some lives require
more than one body.
Whose ends do decisions really serve?
Cat-shapes jump from the shadows.
All the vertices are even,
shock doesn’t depend on what’s new.
A CAT scan may contain
as little as four different colours
so that no regions touching are alike.
Imagine a bottle that has no inside,
a hole through a hole.
We can change shape as much
as we like.
The arc of a haymaker,
a hairline;
the new things that resemble
the old things that remain.
拓扑

以下哪些等价：
带把的杯，
漫饮的夜，
流血的鼻？
在某些假设下
图形彼此演化。
寄生虫会使老鼠
在猫旁失去警惕。
一些生命需要
不止一个身体。
决定究竟为谁作？
猫形跳出阴影。
所有点都相等，
震惊不依赖近况。
CAT的透视胶片
只用四种颜色
就能区分相邻区域。
想象一只中空的瓶，
一个洞穿过另一个。
我们可任意
变换形状。
一记重拳的弧圈，
一条发际线；
一些仿效着
不变旧物的新物。
