equals more than a week, I see,
remembering my addition classes
from someone's school... naive
it is for me to think I need to know
more than I do, since I no longer
use what I have supposedly learned;
one divided by one divided by one
is still one but we live together
today in pairs just like animals
but we hunt differently than they...
counting by threes takes more doing
once you have exceeded twenty-one
but I don't ever plan to go much
higher than that in my lifetime...
when I am on all fours, I feel a
little powerless in my environment
and am smiling boldly when five
comes to my rescue eventually.
