the numbers

you see
the math
in everything.
the numbers
etched
like stars
across
your horizon.
you can
add the days
behind you,
the hours
that you slept,
the money
spent or
saved. you
can see
the mileage
that you've
driven,
the weight
of you upon
a scale.
you can count
the times
you've been
in love.
there are
numbers
for everything,
some being
smaller
than others.
