To Accompany the Gift of a Dozen Eggs

If the world was round
like an egg, what do you think
it would some day hatch
into? Each day is
an egg itself, I suppose,
incubating good
or ill. We've all seen
stillborn potential. We know
that anything can
happen. From a book
on multiple-cat households
Kellyann relates
to me how each spot
added to your house -- a chair,
a rug -- represents
to cats separate
territories; each one a
new option, perhaps
home turf. But to get
back to eggs, what I wanted
to suggest was to
consider when you
eat these eggs, how you will use
their potential. Each
moment (I know you
know) is its own world; each meal,
each visit with friends,
each day (even the
humdrum type), each one a world
waiting to break open.

Date: 2011-02-10 08:45 pm (UTC)It's not missing stanzas, though -- there's no thematic material to suggest that the stanzas are eggs, if that's what you mean... as far as that goes, I'd say I prefer form to serve content, not dictate it.
I'm glad you like it!
