Time oddity

You outlived
Jim Morrison,
Jimi, Janice.
He didn't.
Isn't it strange to be older than your idols?

One day with luck
or patience
you'll be older than Christ.
Even though you count the passage
of years
from his birth.

Every count has an origin. Why not this Christ thing?

Counting tends to confuse.
The alternative is not to count at all. Good idea, but that still denies the need to count things.

Count Dracula
Countee Cullen
County Cork
Count of Monte Cristo
Count Basie
Count Chocula
Don't count your chickens before they hatch.
Count your blessings.
down for the count
let me count the ways

and it all breaks down in the end
bold and beautiful
10 words for commandments
for how many messages

[e_dog]

I began
counting
backwards.

I reached the end
first
then the beginning.

The accounting
terminated
in riches.
We bankrupted out belief
that day.
That hour.

She was the only one
who knew the combination
to the safe.

She was not the bearer of safety
cringing before the robbers.
She was their mastermind.

i counted the counts, and the Counts, and the counting and the County and couldn't find a Country to count. and now i wonder, like mnaz, why i bothered, it didn't make 42. i used to count repeating cells of patterns on wallpaper when i was a kid, that didn't do me any good either.

something to think about
while taking a shit
in this life
is all ye can ever really
ask.
