Counting
Read 'Counting' by 'Philip Larkin' and provide your summary and literary analysis in the comments section below.
Thinking in terms of one
Is easily done—
One room, one bed, one chair,
One person there,
Makes perfect sense; one set
Of wishes can be met,
One coffin filled.
But counting up to two
Is harder to do;
For one must be denied
Before it's tried.
