Our Days Are Numbered
The back of the signed print said 17/101 so I wasn’t sure if I should be proud that I was way ahead or disappointed I was so far behind, and then it occurred to me both numbers were prime so I thought maybe the universe was trying to tell me I was special, but then I realized the universe doesn’t have a voice and I might just be a part of an elaborate dream where there is no beginning and no ending just what’s between the sheets, which is a pretty fun card game you can play with your friends or with your enemies, not that you can ever tell for sure but most of the time you have a clue, which is another fun board game you can play if you want to pass time, which would mean you are faster than the speed of light, which would relatively blow Einstein’s mind if he wandered through your dream, or if you are really lucky you are living in Bob Dylan’s 115th Dream and you get to meet Columbus, who thought he was first but it really depends on who does the counting, and just like a calendar shows us our days are numbered and it doesn’t matter where we start or where we finish, we just need to count every day and make every day count.
