Happy Numbers
I roll my tongue,
And taste the words.
I feel their shape,
Hold their curves in my mouth.
The numbers form,
Like a rollercoaster at the edge of a cliff.
I anticipate the terror,
The groans, and buried faces of the other passengers.
And say the words.
"Six seven."
My lips curl,
And release a smile.
They groan as I thought they would.
I don't see why it's so torturous to hear.
To me, those numbers are
Happiness.
There is no cliff at the end of
Six seven.
Just a joy ride.
