A prosimetrum on ideas

Me (the writer) and 2.

When a normal person looks at 1, 2 and 3, he sees 1 as one, 2 as two, and 3 as three.

The deep thinker recognizes the numbers the same way but he knows he’d better check the source and reliability of the information.

When me (the writer) looks at 2,
me sees two only for a fleeting moment,
me then says that’s an obese one,
maybe an emaciated three or a swan,
or it’s the duality of man,
or it’s duplicity you can spot from the moon,
or the number on the rubber room,
or

Each is a story.
