I’m thinking of a number

Which makes me start to wonder

What is the magic number

Written in the sky?

The number that is time

Surrendered by the prime

To centuries of decline

Marked by colors in the sky.

We cannot know our number

Which causes us to ponder

Where our minds may wander

While we contemplate the sky.

my friend Dawne and me at Lake Bowen yesterday –

were we thinking of a number?

Carl’s definitely thinking of his number these days
