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.

      A noun four times and nothing done.

      What are you doing burning through layers,

      ask five times

      and eagerly. Then flee.

      Just go. Zeros and ones.

      Here.
