I have just cleaned my teeth
in more water
than some babies drank today.



And yesterday I rode my bike
more miles with more thigh
than some poor kids will hobble lamely
from the beginning of their existence.



And before I rode my bike
I had for breakfast more milk
than some mothers have in their breasts
to feed those babies who
had less water to drink than
I just cleaned my teeth in,
the very same who will hobble lamely
less of a distance than
I cycled after I drank that milk.





More than enough.
