the rule of large numbers


With the proper number and right perspective we all look like bugs We swarm. We multiply and race about: A swarm of pounding feet. In small doses we are beautiful and graceful and logical (most of the time) in large doses we become awkward and dumb and the only game we play is follow the leader even if there isn’t one. One crying baby makes you sad But ten just makes you mad That is the rule of large numbers Each one is unique But in the group it’s hard to think.
