Numbers

You get numbers. Numbers work. Black and white logic, harmony, like the keys of a piano. Yes and no. No maybes or what-ifs. No shades of grey. No ‘the sound of one hand clapping’ s or ‘Where for art thou’ s. Simple, beautiful logic. You feel powerful with numbers: god-like, a puppet master. You can send them gliding across the page like tango dancers in the romance of addition, or against each other like flint and metal in the combustion of multiplication. Yes, you and numbers have an understanding.
