Too Many Zeroes, Too Many Ones
This first a.m. of the new year, the new decade, Is one vast glistening of snow spirits. Their facets present a miraculous dazzlement of riches.
But then, I realize that "2009" has given way to "2010." Its zeroes haven't disappeared, just shifted positions, Allowing the end digit to go from the highest to the lowest.
Admittedly no mathematician, I remain fascinated by the abutment that doubles "10" to "20," Try to see, in it, some divine numerological formulation,
Extrapolate, from that weird mélange of ciphers, A view, if not vision, of the universe that might benefit me, At least offer insight into my future's immediate destiny.
But on writing "1/1/10," at the top of my notebook, In preparation for scribbling occult Pythagorean equations, I get the shivers; there are just too many binary digits.
And worse, though perhaps just a coincidence, not a curse, The outside thermometer reads one degree above zero. Could it be that the snow spirits are numbering my days?
