1 of the Many Numbers

One is the lonely number; Two is second to none; And now that number three is done; Can only be one less more than four; Don you really add up; Can we really measure it? Do we really count up? You’ll have every night after six; To fix those problems; So after your first love left you remember; That two more are already waiting; In the darkness of your closet hating; To be the last to fulfill your lustful vase; To be incumbent toward your ruddy hast; All to much coming near; Everything in life you fear; Holding on to those many numbers, those number you fear; You truly know that I am also one of those numbers; As I come indifferent counts I add up; Love is passion it’s a remainder; One plus one is us Cause it really truly takes nine to satisfy; Seven’s God number in the skies; As we count the by and byes; One of the many numbers; 6/7/1978 Written words by James Edward Lee ©1978, 2019
