Hour Eleven

How many grains of sand on a beach?
How many minds can one teach?
How many atoms make up this land?
How often should each soul lend a hand?
How many leaves fall in the autumn?
How many have been beaten down by criticism?
How many planets and stars in the ‘verse?
How many dandelion puffs disperse?
How many words describe my heart?
How many times does one restart?
How many days have you loved me?
How many hours spent daydreaming?
How many years should one spend in lack?
How many whispers behind the back?
How many eyes gloss over a person?
How many instances should be allowed to worsen?
How many raindrops imprint the earth?
How many return home to the hearth?
How many snowflakes build up the drifts?
How many times does the world and societies shift?
What digits constitute the number “a lot”?
Quantifying the total would be a longshot.
