#923
Every time it's late in the night, and I go to check the time It's 9:23... When it's the last thing on my mind,  and I'm scribbling down my rhymes It's 9:23... Even when I'm exploring the stores to buy something, my receipt.. Reads 9.23... When I ask when their birthday or anniversary is... My heart leaps Most of the time, they say "9/23..." While I'm in the car with my family, and a car passes by at the speed of the law... Somewhere on the Licence plate, it says "923..." When I press pause on a you tube video, and I go back to hit play... somehow it's paused... At 9:23... When it's early in the morning, and I go to turn my phone on to see the hour and mintues... It reads 9:23... When my friends are spamming randomly in emails, and numbers reach their limit... 9.23 is always in there... Heck even when I have lost sense of time, and i'm having too much fun to care, and I ask what time it is... They answer "9:23..." Lastly... When I am doing Statistics in School, one of the answers on the list... Is 923... So I ask you... Why are you following me? You have haunted me enough for many years. Is it fate? Is it a clue? Is it an answer? I may never know. But please, whatever your reason is... please have it be a good one. (I JUST realized... This is the 23rd poem I posted...)
