Easy to write any sort of nonsense
in fourteen lines. Fourteen times two
is twenty-eight, which is four away
from thirty-two, the number of ways one can follow
on one's journey to heaven: ten branches
of the tree of life, three elements, seven
planets, and twelve
houses of the zodiac. The four taken being
the four holy books, the four beasts, the four
appointed kingdoms on this black earth.
Then white water, yellow fire, and the culmination:
red, air, blood, the most favored color
of teens caught up in their passions
and aging men in regrets.
