One, Just One

Only I am counting

Ten fingers on two hands

The trick is to count three times over

For every star in the nebulous bands

For every pin in the velvet blanket, polar to polar

So you don't miss a single or six

Since it happens in the millions

Especially once you get to the trillions

Not a single mistake I've made since mars

Traipsing through milky heavens, near and far

Easy as it sounds

Thinly I could miss these things

Thousands to thirteen can hide behind a sulfuric sphere

Fourteen disguised and swim through Saturn's rings

Fifteen years it's taken me to count something so plenty, but I am the only one here.
