When you put the numbers together
they make 18
now that could mean something
or nothing at all
that’s just the way
this mind works
over-analyzing everything
on any given day

Like the guy in Child’s Garden of Grass
who cried
I can lift 350 pounds over my head
but still nobody loves me!

Except to say
well hello August
named after Augustus Caesar
of the Julian calendar
welcome back
instinct dictating the number 18
must apply to you

A date that still has meaning
though the angels and lawyers
have sworn this mind to secrecy

1-8-2-0-2-5
let’s just put the numbers together
and see where they go
