We are Numbers
We are a series of numbers
40960585
85327403120
Social Security number
Drivers license number
Student ID number
Patient number
You take an exam,
You fill in your number
Your name, irrelevant
You call your doctor
You tell her your patient number
Your name, an afterthought
We are just another number in an endless sea of numbers
Undulating wildly
Ebbing and flowing
But always a number
Just 1 of many

Dreams
Dreams stay with me like a heavy fog that won't lift
Won't let go
Entangling in my reality
Blurring the lines
Which is which
Each leaking into the next
Until
Reality, Dream, Indiscernible
Until
They become totally, utterly enmeshed
Become one singular entity
What happened
What didn't
What was dreamt
What was done
That once faint blurred line
Obliterated

So what did you think??
That's all for now folks!

I think you should write poetry more often. My favorite is Dreams!
ReplyDeleteYou're so right about numbers...a thousand permutations and combinations of ten digits define us these days. I wonder if the world still cares about the faces hiding behind those numbers...
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is Dreams too! Keep up the writing:)
ReplyDeleteI think these are brief, interesting poems. I especially found the one about numbers to be interesting and relevant.
ReplyDeleteWow - those are really good. I especially like the numbers one. It is oh-so-true.
