The Start

The Start

Getting the runs off in the can
In preparation for the task
He lifts his brush to stroke
The fence with white
Whiter than the edge line
Of the road before his house
So clean and smooth and straight
His mind’s eye is a fluttering
White ribbon of pure beauty
The fence immoveable and alone
Accepting the brush
Now directed and prepared
It makes the initial contact
And there is no turning back
It’s done.

What are the numbers about?

In order to identify who a person is, since there are so many names in common, I am identifying people based on their relationship to our common ancestor, William Doniphan Frazee 1822-1902. #112 would be WD's 2nd child of his first child's first child. I am #43212, my father is #4321, my grandfather is #432, my great grandfather is #43, my great, great grandfather is #4.

My wife is #43212S. My eldest son who is adopted is 43212A1. If someone has a child out of wedlock the child will get a full number and the partner will get a P.
