5-12-1958=31
May 12th of 1958
I arrived in this country.
Now add up the date.
It sums to number 31, the year I was born.
A new beginning when all’s said and done.
In this year of 2016
A neat numinosity can be seen.
The 58th anniversary
Of my coming here in ‘58
In a year that I am 85,
Which is the reverse of 58,
Hold on. Wait.
My Social Security Number?
You guessed it,
Starts with the numbers
058.
Fate?
I cannot believe it.
It’s just too great!
