Triptych Fascination - 2. Googol

because sometimes 'One in a million' isn't enough to explain someone. Sometimes there aren't enough numbers or words to explain something so entirely wonderful.

I'm sorry to tell you that you are
one in ten duotrigintillion/
ten thousand sexdecillion/
- ten sexdecilliard –
It doesn't matter.
You're one in a googol
because one in a million isn't enough.

What matters is the 6,775,235,741
Who barely know you exist
And I can't believe that I
- Just I or me or myself –
It doesn't matter
Can I really be the only one
To have noticed someone like you?

This is ridiculous.
It's going to stop now.
Ok maybe now.
Nope.

I've got one in a googol chance of this,
Of life working out exactly like
how it would in a film
- Where the hero gets the girl –
It doesn't matter
My life is clichéd enough already
and this is not fiction.
