I never want to be ninety,
forty two suits me fine,
but I guess i'll feel quite different
when I am eighty nine.

DON'T YOU HATE MATH--
I run the one
Toward the two
Three more numbers...
adds up to six
Don't you hate math?

Old numbers,
punch ‘em in.
Hang it up.
Nostalgic,
let it ring
in your head.
No pressure,
broken phone
missing keys.
Nette Onclaud, The Numbers Game, 8/30/2026
single teardrops carefully acknowledged
may signal perplexity
yet engage prevention
Punching in the numbers
on the celestial dial tone
Eternity became toll free
—its area code my own
(Dreamsleep: November, 2020)
Numbers
That you add
Or you subtract,
Divide or multiply,
comes out.
The dimness of the light
Gave the room a spookiness
Dimmed by a lampshade
Made of tortured skin
Tattooed numbers tell the untold story
Of All Places
strangers at smog check station chatting, exchanging numbers - come what may…
1/29/24 Sweet Lady Jane (Marilene Evans)
A Birthday in essence
Is just a sequence of numbers
Denoting
The Day
The Month
And Year
Of when your life and story begins
White chalk vandalizing it
Words and numbers haunting it
Pens scribbling to reflect it
Eraser smudging
Knowledge forever encrypting its life
Beyond the mast numbers I see
And after the fears that surround me
Among the wrongs and the rights
There on the horizon tthere is a light
Living off government welfare
Is like painting by the numbers
Not matter what you say
"It's not your art!"
And it's someone else's money!
When I think of zero or of one,
I think of a whole or I think of none.
Our family grows from two to three,
and numbers march to infinity.
I studied all night long.
I think I aced my math test.
Numbers dancing in my head.

one wish on the stars
one will count on the numbers
one will flip the cards
one waits for a rainy day
one on bended knees to pray
There Is Always
Safety In Numbers!
When You Live
Like
PREY.
Lock And Key.
Stay In Order.
Dismissed.

search out who you're not
you'll be surprised who you are
might you be a star
so, scumble numbers
dates you long to remember
summers in umber
Shoals
swirling
in the sky-
like locusts in
flight-
as
light fades
the massing
starlings roost at
night

Some numbers
Feelings involved
To some means a lot
Prestigious or shameful
Some children soon learn
Others do not
Innocent
Address
Plastered posters up on dividers
laminated and preserved for generations
of students, marching by filing
nameless the years, uncounted
the numbers
One and one is eleven.
Really, what else can it possibly be?
You're sending me to school?

So,
if you
ever get
really angry,
simply hold your
breath and count slowly
up to ten - unless you have big
issues about oxygen and numbers ...
A homeless man was given a check
From a man they called Mr. Peck
The check numbers were large
It was like a mirage
He assumed, it was another project
