Incredibility

Rating: 5.0


On the devil's staircase
going down to the beach
you don't count the number of steps;
but you do on the way back up.

Next time you remember the number,
but count them again going up:
you see,
the number is 123.

On the devil's staircase steps cannot be taken. Remembering numbers you can count more and more. An amazing poem is very brilliantly penned...10
