Something Surprising - May 2, 2026

from the molecules of a see-

through liquid, water is broken

by boiling and rises as steam

so, it’s easy to understand

why clouds are vapor white

but when they turn gray then black,

how does that dark source

release clear-as-diamonds rain?

do I really need to know?

maybe it’s enough to face life

as contradictory

and the illogical creates a

shift, blinks the eyes, shakes

our rigid views of the world

then a cup of tea is sure

to help us settle down

with a face bath of steam

to open the pores of acceptance
