Today’s poem: Numbers Comfort Me

one, two, three: numbers comfort me

I watch them parade with perfect symmetry

I love how they add, subtract and multiply

consistently predictable, enough to make me cry

with tears of joy and calm security

numbers so reliable; perfect harmony …

(From my poem Seven Figures in I Am Furious (c) 2009)
