for some reason. the news
is good at it.
keeping track of the dead.
the homeless.
the jobless.
we count our money.
we count our
blessings.
we count our degrees.
we take our temperature,
measure our
blood pressure.
we need numbers.
figures.
a toll of
how many refugees?
we count our marriages,
our losses.
our gains.
our children.
we keep score, as if it's
all a game.
a game that never ends,
where everyone loses
and no one really wins.
