How did it feel?
One followed by
all those zeroes,
A couple commas.
Those must have
been the interruption
between triplicate
noughts. The
sleepless, nervous,
anxious, unspoken
apprehension of
what it means
to strive for
what only can
be counted,
never kissed
or held in
warm embrace,
never smiled
upon or smiling
back, the world
of mathematics
as net worth.
How did that
feel? Want to
try again?
You’ll have to try
real hard. Only
the numbers get
bigger. Zeroes
stay the same.
