Surfer dudes
rowing up stream

by steve waterman

Fourteen vectors from seven planes
I've said it before, but not again
There do exist a dozen others
Like bab, has its brothers

Fourteen plus twelve makes twenty six
Now folding is added to the mix
There's two-fold and 3-fold and also four
It is the 2-fold, that I had missed before

Rowing counts thirteen, twice that for vectors
A grand total of twenty six sectors
The way to slice diamonds takes lots of practice
Cleave with this math, along these new axis

Yes, it is polys and domes for that matter
Architectually speaking, there is even some chatter
Cut over cupola, cut under rotunda
Row, row, row...no wonder.

I need some balls to answer the calls
Somewhere over the empire falls
To surmount this roaring rapid stream
And see that life is not a dream

There are things in place in time and space
And this we all must face
Where we share a tick and should not talk
Of hands upon a clock
