6789. SEQUENTIAL NUMBERS

SEQUENTIAL NUMBERS
Sequential numbers make me smile  -  like this one, #6789.
The world should be so gracious as to hold my hand forever
over things like this : the cave where the bear lives, the aerie
from whence the eagle flies. I wonder what if I had said, instead,
'sequential numbers make me senile?' What else then would be true?
-
Fifty years ago, when I was in seminary school, it was 1965. Nothing
sequential there, of course; if you add those numbers up, they come to
21, and that's nothing much. But look again : 1 and 9 are 10, and 
6 and 5 are 11. See what I mean, about that smiling?
