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.
