Eggs

I’m writing a short story set around Easter, which most likely inspired this. Though if I did ever try to make hard-boiled eggs myself, this is probably what would happen.

 

We try to make

Hard-boiled eggs,

But they are small

As sparrow’s and

When we crack

Their fragile shells, we

Reveal yolks cooked

Hard, but filmy whites.

I wonder if it’s

Okay to eat them, or if

I should cook them longer

In the microwave –

I’ve heard somewhere

That you can.
