What Number Are You

What number are you?

You know you have one,
   yes, maybe many more to come.

Your birthday set in  motion numbers
  as you began to count each year's celebration.,
Social security federal identification.

Place and residence in your city and your state,
  and suddenly your just another number
in the class from which you graduate.

A hired employee number in the fortune five hundred blunders
  and those credit cards upon which we each depend
to retain and track and use our wealth and debt suspends.

Do you know your credit score
  easy for everyone to find out and know
are we all just numbers then,  nothing more?

Let me see your score.
