The Lonely Numbers Game

The Lonely Numbers Game
David J Walker

One has paper 	
		One has pen
One has thoughts of what the color
Of love might have been 

One is the mother
		The other a sister
Another a brother
But where is the father
In this hungry game

One is unknown 
		One without a name
One remembers every day though
One is just like the other  and
		All are the Ones are  
just the same

One is forever 
Without another 
The first among  
The lonely ones 
In this lonely numbers game
