Calculating Canaries

So many numbers 
Being tossed around~

And all I am counting is
Missing colour and sound

What would the world be without color and sound? I often take for granted, thanks for reminding me to appreciate it!

A very nice juxtaposition of pure numbers with only color and sound. Very visual for me Maureen. If you know the number of birds just by color and sound why would you need the logical number count to determine what you already know intuitively. I like this very much Maureen. Thank you.
