Hundred

Ride a bike a hundred times. 
Continuous petaling noises. 
Screeching centipedes. 
Underground. 

Ride a bike a hundred times. 
Through the tunnel. 
If I existed…
Wouldn’t I have made it though by now?

Eat pizza a hundred times. 
Slices which are triangles. 
Tired, tired slices. 
The pizza delivery man is back. 

Continuous. 
Or maybe not. 
Into the tunnel. 
Existence. 

A hundred times. 
Then a hundred more. 
Seems continuous enough. 
Flying, and unstoppable. 

I learned to count that day. 
I counted wrong. 
It was over. 
So the centipedes creep in.
