Dichotomies

do the drops
find the leaves
or do the leaves
find the drops

does the wind choose
when to blow
how does it know
where to go

do our hands
clasp in reverence
or is the prayer 
enclosed in clenched hands

how do we know
when to stop
or do we stop
because we know

how can so little
become so much
or is too much
not enough
