On You

 numbers count;  well, are counted
 but people count and are counted too
 and if counted, that’s not the only way they count
 a ratchet does not count, but it can be counted on
 a Sumo wrestler can count as two, on an airplane
 it’s futile trying to count stars, but we count on a daily sun
 can you count people you count on; in work, play, love
 people count; people can count; people may not want to count
 can you count those that count, on you
