NUMBER



One
is expired.
Obsolete.
Out of stock.
Out of reach.

Number
Two, too.
Three, four...

All animals
in unison:
'' Not to entice
us
talk once more

let
number
8
better dream in infinity
peace.
Leave us alone!
''

Rats/Mouse
Famous Rodents-

like numbers
out of reach

for
they don't

reach
plurality.
