Who is the speaker of the poem "Numbers" by Mary Cornish?
Speaker is the voice of the piece. (Speaker is not always the poet)
Poem:
I like the generosity of numbers.
The way, for example,
they are willing to count
anything or anyone:
two pickles, one door to the room,
eight dancers dressed as swans.
I like the domesticity of additionā
add two cups of milk and stirā
the sense of plenty: six plums
on the ground, three more
falling from the tree.
And multiplicationās school
of fish times fish,
whose silver bodies breed
beneath the shadow
of a boat.
Even subtraction is never loss,
just addition somewhere else:
five sparrows take away two,
the two in someone elseās
garden now.
Thereās an amplitude to long division,
as it opens Chinese take-out
box by paper box,
inside every folded cookie
a new fortune.
And I never fail to be surprised
by the gift of an odd remainder,
footloose at the end:
forty-seven divided by eleven equals four,
with three remaining.
Three boys beyond their motherās call,
two Italians off to the sea,
one sock that isnāt anywhere you look.
