that last drop
(the one that
usually ends up
on your pants)
shook off
onto my hand.

and it struck me
as pure and clear
as a line
from the Diamond Sutra
that no matter
how hard
we try to negate
or deny
our humanity…

we can never
really
shake it.

It's interesting how even the most shallow things and actions can be so much deeper than we think.
Well written.
Take care,
David
