Accounting

by poetrydiary

Is there poetry in numbers?
Accounts have rhythms just like you.

But precision is a fool – it
speaks of worlds in black and white.

And numbers are precise. They make
paths straight for lazy souls.

Passion, magic, and the rest
score nil, or worse…just make a mess.

And love?
Love has eluded millennia
of poets,
So accounts stand little chance.
