Four Ones

Four ones might be propitious .
No doubt astrologers will find a coded message
From ancient astronauts
Foretelling a galactic catastrophe.

When was the last time
Our calendars arranged themselves
So that four short, straight vertical strokes
Told us month, day and year?

Perhaps this year the descending ball
Signaled the end to world strife?
All peoples read a message in the sky
A message of peace and understanding ... or not.
