I think I'm with Jayne here. ie change title, drop Frost quote and think about the ending. "They do not" is a sledgehammer full stop. And I can see why you might want that. But I rather liked the Prufrock reference and maybe you could steal it more blatantly with "I do not think they sing to me" and end there.
Enjoyed

oh and for the first line, rather than "count", how about "I mind my words"?
