Circumlocution

In a round-about, indirect
Not to dissect but inspect
Alternative means to deflect
From some singular aspect,

Nine five one three

Nine, five, one, three—  
Is that truly all that remains of you?  
What fragments of me linger in your mind?  
If only you would take a moment to slow down  
And gaze upon the world that unfolds before you.
