Even A Crow can Count

If something can count, what does that tell us about that particular something?
It may not understand time, so it might not be able to count minutes.
But it can count how many times the sun goes up and down.
It can count bb pellets shot at it.
It can count cars going by.
It can count places it has been.

But what does it matter if it's the fifth day it's gone without being shot at and if it has seen 27 cars go by that day on the third street it has sat at.
A release from numbers, patterns, and predictability.
