WD 63 “The Situation in an Eggshell”

A verse inscribed in fire and light.

The Situation in an Eggshell

Gratitude would be a good start, a running jump and a fall

Did it break like an egg when it hit the ground? Squirting gray matter that didn’t matter and a yoke with no nutrients?

Far from exceeding expectation, I followed a phantom into the woods and watched her silhouette slide gracefully and ungraciously between elm trees

Have a backbone, even if it’s only a twig, and I’ll find a place for you in my backyard knockoff Kingdom of Heaven

Silken tongued she said to me, “Things expire everyday, and it’s all right.” and I’ve been trying to apply her words and apply for financial aid.

Fear the bits in your gut that don’t do anything, because evolution will take them away.

Whenever it happens a fairy dies, then we wave a swatter in the air and say we’ve been getting rid of pests.

Fear the bones in your chest that don’t do anything, because evolution will take them away.

Go to the south and I’ll go east and we’ll build a knockoff backyard Jerusalem

Visionaries can tug their own eyes out, we’ll build our own Jerusalem

Have some consistency, be a hard boiled yoke

Declare your nutritional value

Just to keep things running, jumping, and falling and breaking like an egg on the ground.
