Forty-eight

Forty-eight

Forty-eight is the natural number following 47 and preceding 49.

It feels unnatural.

Forty-eight is me.

Today.

It is one-third of a gross, or four dozens.

It feels sorta gross.

I'm four of the twelve-year-old me.

Forty-eight is the double factorial of 6, a highly composite number.

I feel highly composite.

Complex emotions and whatnot.

Like all other multiples of 6, it is a semiperfect number.

I'm most definitely semiperfect.

Just the way I am.
