Dreaming of Numbers

Counting’s identity,
And you’re dreaming you’re dreaming this
Corner da fe.

You rehearse it carefully
Where you lie trying to sleep.
You don’t want to lose it to dreams.

It’s just a couple phrases,
But you’re sure the first one works.
Counting is and does depend

On decisions of identity.
No one can count anything
Without identifying something

As something and two things
As two of the same. All the rest
Of math is cornered by that faith.
