we're very worried about numbers.
our age,
are you old enough
yet, or too old,
our weight, our blood pressure,
our height,
the diameter of our waist.
we worry about
cholesterol,
good or bad.
triglycerides.
we worry about the tax rate,
the interest
on a loan.
the air pressure in our tires.
the odometer,
the battery bar,
the minutes on our phone.
we are ruled
surreptitiously by
numbers.
from grade one, until
the grave.
how long do you have left?
how much have you
saved?
can i get a price check on
this pineapple?
