Night sky, two light bulbs.
Family: Man, Woman, Girl, Boy, followed by number three.
Dove, ring,
Grinning Face with Smiling Eyes. Pouting Face is snubbed.
Three books plus saltshaker.
Four clocks show different random times.
Speaking Head emits registered sign, then empty speech balloon.
Four equal sign two.
Five clocks show different random times.
Thinking Face, index pointing to a world map, question mark.
Flames plus bed, plus flames and more flames
and person running with large stride and arms outstretched.
If has no pictogram.
Same As It Ever Was
One. A pregnant pause. A flash in the pan.
One sip of whiskey, then the burn in your throat.
A redacted redaction.
Two options, one fate,
someone dozes in the middle of the day.
Where’s the source utterance in an echo chamber.
Nightfall lights lights,
grapes come in clusters.
Three is surety and truce,
the perceived threat before an alliance.
Three open windows, three specks of dust.
I call four times and no one answers.
Four times or two, whatever.
If you’re tossing and turning all night
going, Where am I? over and over and over
and over and over, it’s time to burn your bridges
and move on.
Self-Mastery
We thank you for your interest, an urge from within, a special something.
A sea of metaphysical books before they amounted to clairvoyance.
An ether inside a higher ether.
Two sensitivities to one whole
and a dimension of your dormant psychic abilities.
How many invisible helpers are mirrors.
Ancient truths test and two subscribing religious backgrounds,
two teachings that fall beyond the Desire World.
Three is to awaken through solar currents;
a dense body, a tool and a hindrance.
Three activities, three additional mediums.
Four times the association benefits unused sex force.
Four taps into the same harmonious personal relationships.
If five innovative solutions connect in the cerebrospinal nervous system,
periodically conjure the acme of materiality, play the aura,
organize preceding exercises, and travel to a temple.
Equanimity
One ball, one pitch, one one players,
or one one after another, meaning eleven.
Hands off. One red card, one player down,
meaning ten, or zero after one.
Here an odd color theory applies:
a red made of two yellows.
Two teams, two goals. The mass
of spectators both present and viewing
remotely may or may not avoid such clear-
cut binaries while following
trinities: two teams running after a ball
so live it could be animate.
This leads to the occasional
tangle of legs.
The possible configurations of one one players
as a unit in the course of ninety minutes tends to
infinity, yet on average, per game, goals fall
between two and three.
In the end, all tournaments come down to four
teams vying for two slots, and an eventual return
to square one, since draws are ruled out.
Shootouts are the corrective. Skill succumbs
to guesswork, a stand-in for fate, to be met one-on-one,
per usual. If five penalty kicks don’t untie the score,
add another five. Then wonder whether
ardor leads to pain in equal amounts.
Numbers As Qualifiers
Ablaze.
Twofold mirrors
seeing in and out during sleep.
A, B, and C.
And consequent deals between parties.
Sooner than you know, three becomes etcetera.
A way of living,
or the route that a computer operating system follows
through directories on a disk to locate a file.
