At night in the bathroom after brushing my teeth,
I saw water spilled on the counter near the sink.
I left it spilled.
Deliberately I did not wipe it up.
It will be gone in the morning, I thought.
Natural forces.
Warm air blowing from the vent,
and six hours of time.
In the morning I stood at the sink
looking at my face in the mirror.
Glancing down,
I saw the spilled water was gone.
