Numbers Subtract At Dawn

Numbers Subtract At Dawn (4 & 6 Take Sides) Number 4 and 6 are safe for the moment basking in their wholeness In a sun, on their side, as they stand holy in the light Erect, gesturing, complete, as numbers should be Enemies destroyed most digits starting with the perfect ones Calling them irrelevant, having them erased, having them removed Fractions diminish, section by section, cut off from equals Fratricide is common among numerators and denominators Fighting to be on top Major math, primary numbers, stand alone To figure out the calculus of it all Zero explains much, holds integers as “whole”, as accountable, in contempt Real numbers hate them for their size, exposed parts, being divisive (Division is a crime) 5 does everything in its power to become the number to its left or right It calls them neighbors 4 and 6 will have nothing to do with it They call 5 a “numeric perversion” 4 will always be 4. 6 will always be 6 They both want 5 to leave the country quickly (at once) All numbers should be reduced by day break They will comply and murmur down Subtraction takes place at dawn Where the countdown begins at once Starting with the number one 4 & 6 take sides but don’t change Nothing else remains
