Ten digits
Used worldwide
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9
Ten digits we use
To describe the vastness of space
And the singular melon we bought at the grocery store
Ten digits we use,
On a scale of one to ten,
To communicate our emotions
And on a scale of zero to five,
To judge all things
Just ten digits,
With repetition
Create infinite possibilities for us to express ourselves
But turn ten digits to ten letters, can we do the same?
Ten digits allow mathematicians to write books with never ending pages
Yet 26 letters confines us to a singular million phrases
