Well, I was wrokign on this one at work. I figured the numbers in the triangles could be letters forming a message, but it spelled out to gibberish. I figured THAT could be ROTed or some other cipher.. but thats the point where I got caught by my boss and got yelled at so I didnt get far in the ROTing.

How about the numbers in the triangles reflect a letter in the poem??

Let's see.....3 = O, 8 = M, 2 = R, 10 = T.
OM RT..... garbage.

It would be 8=T, wouldn't it?

It's suspicious that all numbers from 1 to 23 occur in jumbled order. Maybe you have to take letters in those number's intervals and after you have done that you put those letters in order from 1 to 23?

Kicking this around with Konamouse in chat:

Couple of things we can try.

22 letters, and on the side of the page are two rows of 11 boxes, so maybe if we pull the letters from the poem then do a substitution where
x=y, y=x, rather than a rot(ational) transformation. The next problem become how to order the letters.

We can either start at the top and go left to right then top to bottom ( =), but the first line of the poem makes me think that we start top to bottom then top left to right ( || ). We are going to try both ways.

Good luck detectives.

Edited to add the strings - lets hope we don't need to count spaces as well

_ denotes a blank space in the string, // denotes end of the line in the left to right...

Left to right then top to bottom (as if reading a normal english text):

_OT_RTHWOF//_rn_ed_tmo//nr_to_tthw_

Top to bottom, then left to right (row breaks every 3 spaces/letters)

_ _sorutnt_ _ ore_ rsth _ twthomtfo _
