Chances

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.
