Counting: The Worst Technology

Adding machines, we have been consumed by the very
Thing that we thought would feed us: How many!?
Forceful conclusion, this question enforces:
More better faster (not to leave the division by
Time out of the picture). One, two, five million,
Every additional one (and one is the important point,
The replicable figure, where another is possible
And the same); mortified could not examine ten
Thousand, because the amount overwhelms 
All subtraction to feeling; no amount of 
Mathematical stretching can bring back
The fact that one cannot equal one
And that two, it follows, must not exist.
