So, I’m...
19,584 days old.

So, counting...
backwards

that means
on a Sunday in 1955

(23rd of Oct to be
precise)

me Ma & Da
(instead of taking their Sunday rest)

were busy
conceiving me.

So, that
on Sunday July 1956

I came about
(I came out)

& surrendered myself
to the world.

23rd of October? ? ? ? ? How odd...that is my birthday...and I have grown up to love you? ? ! ! Is it because we share this day of birth, well...one way or another? ?
