One.
Singular, lonely.
Independent, isolated.
Two.
A pair
A secret shared
Three.
The first fateful number.
Beginning, middle, end.
Four.
Simply
The space between
Five and Three.
Five.
Fingers and toes
The pleasant middle ground.
Six.
Two rows of three
Or three rows of two
Reverse nine
Seven.
The second fateful number
The days in a week,
Seemingly out of place.
Uncommon
Unique
Eight.
A round figure
Figure eight
Infinite, plump,
Eaten.
Nine.
Somehow sinister.
Almost ten but not quite
Almost true but not quite.
No.
Ten.
A round number
Can be neatly split into five
Good for scales
Line, circle, safe.
