What's your number

Can a collection of identities

be identified by numbers

not by masses

or mass-

but by oneness-

or twenty-three-ness-I guess-
or like five and look alive!

It conjures an image

somewhere in time, in our mind
space in our head-

A good positive number-

a negative angle-and no this isn’t acute-

it is chronic-al-always, regardless if I count

or you count or none of us counts...

Who’s counting down while looking up?

We should pick a numerical value besides our bank.

-Personal account-and equate each other thusly,

not rank or rate but separate-and separate

so our Nows don’t collide, or near misses and almosts

are guarantees-please!

sheer masses

like tiny tomes and Moronic Oxen-

Did you just say eleven?

Most just say seven-ness is blessedness,
everyone knows this rule-

I could be wrong, that'd be
a real word problem.

An error in calculating
-mind you-

Not in reasoning.
