Two hundred sextillion stars
In our universe
Thirty-five trillion blood cells
Bodily dispersed
Seventy-thousand decimal places
Someone memorised for Pi
Five thousand visible suns
Light the night sky
Two and a half billion seconds
The extent of one person's life
Thirty-three percent truly believe
After death, there’s an afterlife.
Forty million sperm
In one ejaculation
Fifteen million bubbles
In a single champagne bottle celebration
Three trillion trees
Forested around the world
Over two thousand yearly
Tornadoes will have whirled
Three hundred and fifty quintillion gallons
Of salty seawater
Augustina Higuera’s fourteen children
All of them, daughters.
Two hundred is an infestation
When a dog has fleas,
Whilst three and a half trillion fish
swim the oceans with ease
A million times, I've said,
I love you
Not once have you said
You loved me too.
