Giving us the hope that was left hanging in the first line.

You’ll meet someone, she’ll be who she / claims to be, and she can dance.

So therefore, we know that nervousness lies in the Google search threaded through the poem.

When I’m nervous I know enough to touch and count.

There is also an understanding that things take time and practice, using counting as a means to get to a stabilized form:

By teaching us about the google search in the beginning we then know that he is adding twelve to surpass the territory of individuals we learned of earlier in the poem.
