But. Butbutbut. I wrote a POEM.

I missed writing poems. So that's all good.


***

I heard Columbus could balance an egg.
Easy.


I'm taking an egg out of the carton
running my finger along the cool edge of the world
infinity in an eggshell:
which came first?

The point of it:
balancing an egg on its end
balancing a ship on the world
balancing life on the edge

guess.

pick your star.

Finding India, finding America
finding me, curled inside the egg
when it is cracked open
there I am.

Balancing an egg on its end
it's easier than you think:
you just have to know
where to put your finger.

***

I don't even know what it's about. Apart from eggs, obviously. But its less disjointed than some stuff I've read recently. :D
