Numinous?

How can I face today?

What will the morning bring?

As I sat on a park bench

Pondering such deep things,

I glanced down at the seat beside me

And saw a folded sheet

Of lined paper.

I almost threw the thing away

But something made me stop and stay -

Would there be some mystic ode

Or an obscure binary code?

I read these three meaningless words:

'cogito ergo sum'.
