count to z

4 1 0
                                    

count the alphabet
a, b, c
list the numbers
1, 2, 3

all the way to z
or until infinity
have I confused you yet
just like you did me?

you asked me yes, then asked if I said no
you said I was laughing, but I was in mourning
you promised you wouldn't lie, yet you did it all the time
so to contain myself, I counted to z
