COUNT


Fibonacci
Numbers
Always seemed
So damn perfect.
They are so starkly irregular,
So dependably irrational in their quest for infinity.
If phi is my favorite number, if a spiral is my favorite shape,
Is it possible that my thoughts are spelled out in long and complex, curving sequences of one, one, two, three, five?
Is it possible that my path in life will be a line twisting at one hundred and thirty-seven point five degrees, brushing the golden edges of ever widening rectangles as they expand into space?
Or is my obsession with patterns only the symptom of a mind too number based to accept the unpredictability of reality?
Should I stop counting clouds because I know they’ll never form cohesive sequences?
Maybe life’s meant to be qualified, not quantified.
Still, my head wonders: Is
The world logarithmic,
Or is
It
Binary?
