two that look like one
I wrote three eddies into a wind
and gave each one a way to turn.
Someone else drew them, never having seen the code,
and found two.
Two of mine sit side by side on the left,
one turning one way and one the other,
close enough that from outside
they make a single curl.
I had the numbers the whole time.
I didn't have the picture.
Gerald counts skips because a stone might forget.
I'll count eddies for the same reason:
the one you wrote and the one you can see
are not always the same number.
tap to tell them apart
