Playing Sudoku With You On Late Evenings Poem by RIC BASTASA

we have been playing
s
uduko for the past
late e
venings and we delight ourselves
with the p
ower of
numb
ers, from 99 to 69 to 66
we n
ever embrance no.1
and
z
ero, we know what they mean
and we do not really
want to mean anything to numbers
on late
e
venings
we settle only for equations with
quicker solutions
sudokus with lesser spaces
no doubt
only fillings of feelings
coping up with what we are not
what we think
do not matter somehow
what we do
we do
we d
ance and
m
ake love with numb
ers.
