take comfort in these
numbers, in calculations
leading to the right answers,
with their solid solutions.
believe in the patterns
and experiments and
logic and predictions:
the weather, the lottery,
the stocks, the plane
crashes, the car accidents,
the date
when the world would end
(no one actually cares),
the date
when you think she
will most likely say yes
(she likes a certain day,
you think) (you're wrong)
(she wouldn't mind)
when your baby (boy) arrives,
how likely he will be an athlete
(on land?),
how he will have her lips,
your eyes, your nose,
her hair. (really beautiful.)
but you didn't choose her.
(you're still
young, they say.)
(and later... they
would say...)
recalculate.
