a clandestine operation
they say the numbers look good
so off they go
shipped in the middle of the night
when the old numbers go out
new ones come in
and with a little tweaking
or some massaging
or altogether reworked
they too will look good
and off they go
shipped in the middle of the night
sometimes the numbers don’t work out
the way they should
and the outcome manifests itself
into minor or major accidents
an occasional total death & destruction
and when the latter is the case
the number crunchers will be handcuffed
and taken away
each one replaced by something shiny & new
may two thousand twenty-four
