numbers do not count themselves

mostly

it is hard to articulate

but easy to understand

how the clock is not time

how the ruler is not distance

it becomes hard to remember

how things are unmeasurable

outside a life that is measured

it becomes easy to forget

time it started before the clock

the gap it began before the ruler

this understanding my friend

we are relatives i guess

we will always forget
