Everything Is Numbers!

Everything is Numbers!

Everything is numbers, they say,
days in an year, hours in a day!
Sunlit mornings, moonlit nights,
Some of the most beautiful sights!
A little flame fiddling on the wick,
your smile, when the camera goes 'click'!
Radiance, Illumination, glow and shine,
it's all measured in numbers just fine!

Turns from the signal, steps to your house,
pockets in your shirt, buttons in my blouse,
The palpitation, the sparks, your heart-beat, my pulse!
it's all a certain electro-chemical impulse!
The gentle dalliance of wind-chimes on a quiet night,
notes in a symphony, the sound, the sight!
Clouds, thunder, lightning, botls,
All decibels and hertz and amperes and volts!

Longing, waiting, dearth and desire,
all demand and supply, seller or buyer!
Goodness, value, merit and worth,
pain and suffering, joy and mirth!
depths of despair, heights of joy!
everything's a measurement, boy oh! boy!
How tall, how strong, slow or fast?
rank, grade, order! first or last!

Horse-power, light-years, degree, fahrenheit!
how do you measure sorrow and delight?
Rules, boundaries, barricades, fences,
when are you declared out of your senses?
How many layers of hope you tear
to force a man to kneel and plead?
How many nails you hammer to the cross,
to make the maverick wince and bleed?

What's the formula, where's the graph,
what's the measure, full or half?
why's he happy? why's she sad?
 where are we headed, so raving mad??

Me, This evening
