numbers.
by jaclyn iaquinta.

one. two. three. four. five. six. seven. eight. nine.
we’re all just numbers in a world of words.
all simply statistics in a land of linguistics.
ten. eleven. twelve. thirteen. fourteen. fifteen.
what we say has no meaning.
what we feel has no worth.
sixteen. seventeen. eighteen. nineteen. twenty.
when they look at us they see no faces.
when they look at us they see only figures.
twenty. nineteen. eighteen. seventeen. sixteen. fifteen.
we hope to one day matter,
to be more than a tally on a vote.
fourteen. thirteen. twelve. eleven. ten.
if only they would care enough to ask;
simple questions or comments to change it all.
nine. eight. seven. six.
no words to speak of.
no thoughts to influence minds.
five. four. three. two.
simply numbers.
just numbers.
one.
