Numerals Jesse Schmitt

Numbers are a funny thing; they're with us for all of our lives. From the length of time we have left on the Merry Go Round to the number of days we have left to live; to the amount of seconds until that guitar solo to the amount of money left in our bank account, there's no denying that numbers are always looming in our consciousness. This collection of poems explores the universality of numerals and the differing ways in which they all can be captured. From less than less than zero up to one hundred thousand quadrillion vigintillion. Or thereabouts.
