calculate

These things marked on the abacus sliding down hemlock trees between PA ridges today -

0) infinite number of times the dog finds bear droppings to smear over her recently bathed self
0) infinite places to stand in sun - stand under grey skies
0) infinite heart flutters corresponding to water over rocks
0) infinite cravings for burned marshmallows over flames illuminating friends
0) infinite acts of kindness when someone makes their home your resting place
0) infinite ways of counting what it means to make life matter


Zero
Hafiz, translated Daniel Ladinsky

Zero
Is where the Real Fun starts.
There's too much counting
Everywhere else!
