like magic fall from reservoirs;
tiny sparkling drops from tanks above
reboot the Mother's rivers, lawns and ponds.

These tanks hang so close to ground,
ten million tons, drip drip by drip,
their mass upon us, drop by drop,
but all at once? Our Earth would drown.

What sorcery holds them at bay absent rope or string?
These 'clouds', these floaty barrels brimmed,
and what drop falls first to lead the way,
letting go of cloudy home, in so doing, diminishing.

Poet Poe (Oh, he knew)- a special line here comes to mind;
“Science, whose prying eyes revealest all things”.
Oh, Edgar, so very wise, to let the unknown remain
in the realm of mystery science can't abide.

Blessings, billions strong
like magic fall from reservoirs;
tiny sparkling drops from tanks above
reboot the Mother's rivers, lawns and ponds.

ten million tons, drip drip by drip,

but all at once? Our Earth would drown.

What sorcery holds them at bay absent rope or string?

Oh, Edgar, so very wise, to let the unknown remain
