It was the simplest thing
In the world,
Eggs.
They come from chickens.
I was supposed to be
eating them for breakfast.
But, I just let them sit there.
2 yellow eyes staring
up accusingly at me.
Lost in your paper,
you didn’t seem to notice
Them jeering.
And all I could think of
was if you ever found out
how I would never have
the chance to cook you Eggs.
The whole world fixated on
those Yellow Yokes.
Those Yellow Yokes became the sun
around which all the galaxies rotated.
Singularly, blindingly, terrifying,
was the
thought
that I would never
get to cook you Eggs.
And the secret I shared with my runny breakfast
I could not share with you.
And you asked me if I didn’t like my eggs.
Perhaps I should scramble them?
Just like us.
