Rectangles always look so miserable there on the page In their boxy squareness In danger of breaking – they can't sleep standing up like triangles Can't play soccer like circles kicked into spheres Always the bridesmaid, framing gowns in shop windows, but never the bride But there is always worse – they could be a rhombus on a math test

I love this, especially:
“they can’t sleep standing up
like triangles”
All of the personification here is fantastic!

In your world rectangles are life’s outsiders. With mankind, they are often referred to as squares

A mathy gem. A rhombus can also be a diamond shape…
But solving the problem of getting the gem out of the stone (the brain) that can be a trial!

It’s extra funny because I disagree with all your assessments of rectangles! But it’s not really something to get into a debate over, is it? And I can’t stop smiling, so yeah — more like this, please. 🙂

Ahahahaha! Yes, we do in fact love our rectangles. Can’t really get by without them.
