Numbers transfigure into another skin How I hate the countless ways Of meaningless days Day by day I peer through the haze Hoping to find some calculation A hand to navigate Numbers seem to agitate Counting the days remaining Standing in the reign of fools Pretending to deduce the antitheses of our being Hypothesizing how life began Theorizing this & that Debating history with fact Numbers linger in the air Before too long we'll suffocate Disintegrate into a billion pieces Never to see the conclusion of our fate.

Thought provoking poem with an interesting angle. After reading this a couple of times, something beyond the concrete of numbers still provides one with hope. Vivid ending. Thank you for sharing your poem with us and for your kind words on mine. Keep on writing! Karen
