Cup Poem by Hans Ostrom

Cup



I am contained
in the cup of me
originally,
it's claimed, we came

from the sea.
actually,
what emerged were versions
of things that could

turn into us. nonetheless,
here I am, a full
cup of me,
a compound composed

of me, salt
water modified
elaborated, prorated,
not quite yet

evaporated;
self-contemplated.
