An egg is an egg is an egg...
Eating a boiled egg for breakfast
is always a special delight to me
Watching the soft, bright yellow yolk
surrounded by the sturdy white flesh
of the egg tickles my sensual mind
The oval shaped egg feels tender
and strong at the same time
Its shell protects the inside very well
and yet let it drop and it breaks into
cracks like the skin of an old person
There is wisdom in eggs and beauty
in this elegant design of pregnancy
Compared to the physical process
of the visible growing female belly
An egg is an abstract work of art
Roll it through your hand and feel its
roundness, its softness, its strength
It is said that eggs can absorb negativity
and tension, even pains and heartaches
An egg is a kind of genius in its own way
