They've always told me that I was good with numbers
learning arithmetic before the other kids
memorizing sequences
I didn't need to write out multiplication tables as they were already etched in my mind
Soduko suppressed my anxiety
my temperament echoed the sloping curve of a parabola
so it's no surprise to me that I'd obsess over your numbers
Checking, confused, checking, concerned, checking, crying
increase by one then maybe it's me
But how can it be ten more
is it someone else?
Your numbers increase like a cash register total at a discount dollar store
getting higher and higher
thousands more than when we first started
refresh, refresh, refresh again
you tell me it's not the reason I think
I want to believe you
but I just don't
