The most instructive thing
about counting to infinity
has nothing to do
with number;
it's that your indifference
to the task doesn't matter;
you can
take it or leave it,
work backward
or forward,
attend it with discipline
or crash like a slacker.
Anyone
who values anything,
can start anywhere,
and be dead-center—
and from there,
it gets even easier:
you either start to calculate,
or you wait.
