Four Ways of Looking at a Cup
I
Curvature held and holding,
the fragility of the liminal–
the cup is warm to the touch
II
A miscalculation–
a cup falls at nine point eight
meters per second
squared
III
The air above holds
what the cups below cannot
IV
The handle of the cup
a hand instincively grabs-
oh, how it is missing out
holding onto its curve

Great momentum in this poem (in more ways than one!)
“The fragility of the liminal” works so well
