counting

are we not forever counting.
whether
our age
or the days until
some holiday
or birthday, our retirement.
how many days
since
then,
since she died, or 
he no longer was
a friend.
the numbers are everywhere
in cold
black ink.
a tabulation of sorts,
three more days until
a weekend.
two months before spring.
