Free Range Egg



1. "I tell you, the egg is but a means to an end..."
2. "Yes, Egg is something to be overcome."
3. [SLAM!] "All that ain't for me...you see..."
4. "I'm proud to be an egg!"
5. "Egg is in!"
6. "And I'm an egg about town." ["Here we go!; "Wheeee, Yah!]
7. "Don't put us all in that basket!"
8. "So you see, guys, I'm a free range egg now!"

I never feel myself on the group chat

Every face is 
like a window
(a mirror). 

Every face seems my own
for a moment
(if it speaks clearly,
if I listen carefully).

I am among them
and experience them all
at the same time.

Yet, when I look closely
at my own visage
it seems false
and distant.

I extend myself to those others 
in close sympathy;
myself, I experience at a

Beyond the Pleasure Principle


I never got Beyond 
the Pleasure Principle;
I couldn't figure id out.

Daybreak

 

Daybreak

 

Hopes sown out of season cling

Like bulbs in frozen ground

To aspirations of Spring

 

Yet Summer’s decadence cannot abate

Autumnal declines and long winters bound

To negate

 

Just as the Sun with Sisyphus’ might

Presses up and across the horizon

Before sliding into night

 

That which remains must evolve

Change displaces but also enlivens

Those who spring with new resolve
