an accounting

by Charlie Morgan

it was a long day, numbers had run out;
quintillionth one was given to a young man
from L.A.
friends calling him today will reach him
sometime in the 23rd Century. hope he's not out.

all afternoon we traded lies, intentions;
then lied about lieing and those pesky
intentions.

she said who is winning?
i say, the other guys.
tho they had no score.
they had no numbers.

still, i could tell they were winning.

Another good one Charlie. It seems as if the other guys are always winning and then you come sliding home from third base.

I feel like you channeled a bit of Douglas Adams into this poem. I think that's awesome.
