keep your one



around the one I go ..

looking at the slight dip at the top
and flat straight base
at the bottom ..

I rove
around number 1 like
it's a monolith
that won't move unless prodded ..

with the high arch
and smiling mid-section ..

I'm looking you down,
thinking
the number eight is vastly more interesting
with those looping circles
that look like four if you cross your eyes ..

sure,
I'm done with you
number one
with
your
straight posture
and
uninteresting stories of
how
number two
is always trying to peek
through your dining room window ..
