The I of the Beholder

By weighing the count of forgetting against remembering, this poem proves that math always fails once the self dissolves in Love

The wise say: counting less, the wiser
The nice say: valuing time is nicer

Last night she asked,
In her sovereign tone,
“How many times
Have you remembered me since?”

Replied I,

“I’d rather admit
The times I forgot,
For they are far fewer
Than the times I remembered.

Forgetting you:
Forgetting my self;
Remembering you:
Reminding me of ‘I’.”
