How Many Points in a Wave?

The enormous smallness of existence
Isn’t a simple play with paradox—

What’s small at each point at all points is vast
In ways that can only exist as small—

Agglomerations of the minuscule
Are the only way to the gigantic—

Look at you and all your trillions of cells—
Look at the desert composed of sand grains—

Then ask yourself, what is smallness if not
Enumerable mysteriousness

Of sameness—each of those cells same enough,
Each of those sand grains same enough to be

Countable as more of the same, even
If what’s countable’s only estimate.
