A Tool for Discerning How Special You Are

Do you have a favorite number?
Probably under ten, isn’t it?
Why not be daring, why not select

Something large or something chosen by
A random number generator?
Even better, an irrational

Number, or an imaginary
Or complex combination. You could
Go for primality, maybe pick

A digitally delicate prime,
Say, the smallest—two-hundred ninety-
Four thousand and one. Could you ever

Feel cozy about such a number,
The way that you do about seven
Or three, or whichever pleases you?

Probably not. So what have you learned
About you? You have a favorite
Number, which is someone else’s, too.
