this is just a draft, but i liked it okay.
Chances
breaking open geodes is a gamble
sometimes turning into
only broken clay, grayish,
and between you and me
it was a waste of $1.50
at the toy store
occasionally we throw stones,
smooth ones, over water
and watch their reflections bounce
one, two, three times
before the weight meets the wave
and they sink
at the science museum, sometimes,
i think about layers,
the earth as a cake,
and all that distance supposedly
filled with rock.
But then again,
it could be crystals.
