The Process

Two drops of water roll down the side of the can
Condensed from the thick air on a warm evening
Only a millimeter apart, they are alone inside themselves
Until they hit the surface and merge into one

A piece of dust in the stratosphere
Attaches to a droplet of moisture
Becomes a snowflake unique
One beautiful short-lived crystal

A grain of pollen floats with the wind
Yellow haired and innocent to find
Connection to begin the process
The struggle for life

Two unloved lovers wander
Meandering aimlessly looking at their shoes
They miss the puddle, the snowflake and the flower
And bump into each other, and the process begins again
