Fifteen

That's 3x5

And 3x5 is 5x3

I think

But multiplication

Or was it division?

Mixed up all



Just forget it



And 2x7.5

But don't count the in-

Between

Okay

1x15

Repeat, but reverse



Oh wait. Stop.

Rewind. Then stop.

Was it fourteen.



Then 7 comes again

7x2

And what else?

The obvious

14x1



Not unlucky

Like 13

Or auspicious

Depending on how

You look

At it

Unless of course those don't

Count



But among those, which do?

The first

Twelve?

I couldn't even tell

You and

And you don't want

To know



Anyways



2x6

And 3x4

And here's some more

I think I skipped some



And again

With 11 I will

And why

does the

Letter look like 1 (one)

But



10 is

Even too

Much

I

Mean

Many

That's

5x2

And

Not much

Else



9

Comes

Into

The Equation

Twins

Of 3

A sign of God

Not good



Who was 8

No

Not Eaten



Maybe

I'm thinking

7

And oh

We're here

I mean

I'm here

Again

Or

It's here

Again



3x2 and 3x2 and 3x2

Are no

Different

Than 2

Times 3

Did you like it

(Probably not)



Almost

Not done

I wish

Not

The 5

Fingers

On the hand

That I'm writing this with

But I'm using

(no not really)

4

Of

Something

I don't know

Four

That's four



3 and 1 make B

Not BS

I swear

Don't

you

believe

me

I hardly

believe myself



Down to 2

Not too soon

soon better than

late

(it's late)



It's the letter's

Turn now

To see

That

It's

Not

A

Lie

A curse

Maybe fate?

It's not a letter.

It's not a number.



It's the numbers.



How many again?

Again.

I might re-work it as a visual or concrete poem.
