Live by Numbers

Your age.
Your birthday.Your time of birth.
Your figure measurements.
Your Shoe Size. Your amount of shoes.
Your bag collection. The amount of apartment you can fill it with.
Your mobile, home, office and fax number. The number of email accounts you have.
Your address, your postal code.
Your clothes size. Your hat size. Your underwear size.
Your car plate number, your license.
Your identity number, your insurance number and your student card number.
Your credit card number and your bank account.
Your time spent on planes, on rackety transport.
Your friends and their numbers.
Your time and everyone elses.
Your siblings, your parents, your grand-parents and extended family.

So many things we can quantify and represent in numbers but we shouldn't.

Lastly, to all the people who loved to watch Lost.
four, eight, fifteen, sixteen, twenty-three, forty-two.
