It isn’t the fact that
he is 10.
Everyone gets
older;
numbers come
after
numbers
and then more.
My brain makes me see
that there
are
only 8 more years
before he’s
eighteen.
Everything speeds up
in the festering ether.
Tragedy
an irrational
being
existing
in a
body
that is aware
of Reason.
There is no math
that makes the word
eighteen
reasonable.
However, ten
is still just
three letters.
Oh wait.
Ten is a
double digit
number.
