Is there a fraction
to be found
somewhere between
half full and half empty?

Does it mark its line
on the edge of my cup
somewhere between satisfaction and longing?

Should I top it off with cream and sugar
or just drink it bitterly down?

…or perhaps find a smaller cup?

Can it be measured?
At what tenth of a microlitre
do I find that I am
more full than empty?
And precisely how more much is needed to reach overflowing?

Is there a fraction
to be found
somewhere between
half full and half empty?
