津波

a single drop

is no more than a single drop

it may be made of billions of atoms

but it is just a single drop

yet it is a peculiar thing

that a single drop is nothing

even two drops are nothing

three, four, five

still not worth noting

but when you have so many more

when the number of drops is no less than

the number of atoms in a single drop

these mere drops are no longer mere drops

they coalesce and cascade into one another

crashing violently

seemingly foreign to the calm drops of nothing they once were

the drops become a storm

calm seas die and are reincarnated as tidal waves

ones that no monsoon could ever hope to create

here is where the monsters of legend are found

the Kraken, Scylla, the Devil Whale, this

is there home

with a step of Poseidon

drops become bombs

exploding above the tides

single drops

no more

they are

the tsunami.
