I really enjoyed reading this. The meter really flowed well and it almost bounced in my head, it worked really fluidly and just made a lot of sense, especially with the stress of the words. I also really enjoy the topic, the idea of seeing idividuals really spoke to me and you conveyed with a quiet humour that works well, the juxtaposition of expression something at silly, or foolish, when actually expressing a deeper wisdom about the individuality of people is fantastic. Thanks for sharing!


Hello readers, welcome to OCpoetry. This subreddit is a writing workshop community -- a place where poets of all skill levels can share, enjoy, and talk about each other's poetry. Every person who's shared, including the OP above, has given some feedback (those are the links in the post) and hopes to receive some in return (from you, the readers).

If you really enjoyed this poem and just want to drop a quick comment, to show some appreciation or give kudos, things like "great job!" or "made me cry", or "loved it" or "so relateable", please do. Everyone loves a compliment. Thanks for taking the time to read and enjoy.

If you want to share your own poem, you'll need to give this writer some detailed feedback. Good feedback explains from your point of view what it was like to read the poem, and then tries to explain how the poem made you feel like that.

Me reading this:😐🤔🫢😧🤯

But for real this is great tho, I like that it really made me think.

Fellow math brain, agreed! Would love to see more poems of a similar nature

Loved the infinity reference, and I’m a math brain so this resonated with me very well. Keep it up, love the work!

Maybe write about math if its something youre versed in. 

I like the quirkiness and absurdity but

you make infinity sound trite, boring and reproducable

I humbly accept your loving disagreement. Thank you.

I am only this cold because I believe in your ability beyond my taste, and you seem like the type who can take some shit based on this poem.

I believe in you


I do not understand this notion of 2;
It is only us saying this is where we stop—
Where we exclude.

We're all a bunch of ones collected here,
And would be awfully rude
To say, "You and you and you and you,..."
“...and that makes 2 and 2.

I see one of you,
    and one of you,
          and one of you,
               and one of you,

Which makes 4 to you,

But...
To me...

1 and 1 and 1 and 1

Cannot I get past 1?
I feel so dumb.
So every body say.

But who is you and who is me?
And where should we...

Stop?

Should we stop somewhere near
Infinity?

That's no 0 sum.
But, that's a lot of 1s.
Probably all of us.

A little confused on how to count past 1.
