no dignity in counting

I wrote 100
now a big deal: 101
but I'm standing over a bowl of water
observing my own urination
and I want to spin words around the pee stream
how the light catches
one side smooth
the left rough, beading
gravity and light and surface tension
time, processed through cells
the water of romulus and
what tornado took away rome's first
cumulonimbus
Coriolis
beauty in the small things
words to catch moments
flies in amber
101st poem:
inelegant words
for an elegant moment
100 miracles in a watery fall
