The block of head
by edge of tongue
and screw of heart
hang pulleys swung,
set ramps ablaze
and levers skewed.
I can't recall the other
two, or if I could,
I'm not inclined
so plain,
it seems.
So much for brain,
now what it means
I leave to us, or me
or you. A bit in trust
which could be vain.

For the first time in an age I had to pause mid-poem to do research. The first search result returned a bastard worksheet with pictures of each, into the blanks hard by or under I was supposed to write the very answers I'd gone searching to find!
I took it as a sign.
WHEEL & AXLE
-sheesh. That seems like two (2) to me, but I guess so does pulley.
