The Seven Pillars of the World

And the seven pillars of the world are set
on the shoulders of a genie
whose strength is beyond language.
And the genie stands on an eagle.
And the eagle on a boar.
And the boar on a fish.
And the fish swims in the sea of eternity.
And i stole this from the Thief of Bagdad
substituting language for thought.
And it's not a poem unless i make it so.
