Counting

 Tally Ho 


I’m a counter, always have been.

It’s an oddity, but a useful one,

counting the days until a big event,

preparing a complex meal,

end of day quizzes in elementary school,

enabling childhood success with math,

and later on with humans.

See, I love real people,

especially the odd ones,

a little off the norm.

They are weirdly consistent.

You can count on them.

Every one of them is a tale.

They are enjoying

their human experience.

So am I.

It’s a perfect fit.

I watch, observe, 

count the minutes,

then get to work,

being creative,

making art,

telling their stories,

and mine.
