called by numbers,
never names,
brings sorrow to a soul.
nameless, nontitled,
undefined, disinherited,
dissipated in death.
numbers seldom names,
count off succulence
from the staves
of eternal poetic refrains
inked by masters of the middle-aged.
Hmm...I identify with this. Birth order is cute, but depersonalizing.
