Funny how it isn't when the joke's on you.

"The surest way to spot a non-reader: someone who comes into your house, looks at your books, and asks, 'Have you read all these?'" - Nick Hornby

"A room without books is like a body without a soul." - G.K. Chesterton

One, two,
together, we're three.
Three, four,
united, we're undoubtedly more.

Four, with seven,
head that up with twenty...do that all week long.
Seven, then nine,
forgot eight, but oddly enough, back to even.

Twice now, with only one present,
"Oneness," feels whole.
Plurality in the singular,
a singularity of the Many.

Plato must be gnashing his ghastly teeth by now;
Lao Tsu barely raising a wisp of a brow.
