Poem: A Simple Disturbance, A Massive Effect

Throw a stone 
into the river
hear the splash
as it sinks
to the bottom
as gravity
pulls it down
watch as 
the ripples 
spread out
from the point
of contact 
and the waves 
grow larger 
the farther 
they go 
the perfect mirror
shattered
every reflection 
marred by the touch.
Do you recognize
your twisted features
in the aftermath?
