He Saw Himself in Numbers
He saw himself in numbers,
statistics, facts, logic.
He saw himself in numbers
that toyed with his mind.
The IQ emblazoned
across his forehead
didn’t tell of the eloquent
nature of his thoughts.
The vocabulary count
written on his lips
didn’t mention the convivial
nature of his lay.
The measures of his shoulders,
muscles, waist circumfrence,
were ignorant of his frame’s
skinny beauty.
