Two is a good number
Because you are not lonely at least.
But one is good
because it is closest to zero
where numbers are no more,
so as the loneliness.
One is good when you can see zero,
where you learn
numbers are just arrangements
so as "evens and odds,"
and loneliness is only an illusion
the malady of those
who are not connected to silence,
those who are even more lonely
when they are together.
