to eat eggs
Why did the chicken cross the road ?
Colin is an egg turner,
he turns eggs
until they crack,
then he hands
the chicks to Jack.
Jack is a chick feeder
he feeds up broilers.
Broilers get fat fast
so fat, they cant reach water
and their legs snap
under their own weight.
Meet the transport fleet
crammed into cases
at just seven weeks
broken legs, wings and beaks
Colin's daughter manages
the slaughter.
She puts them into shackles
cuts their throats
and boils off their feathers.
She sometimes forgets
to cut their throats.

Eggs tossed.
Eggs are a weapon of choice
So are tomatoes (or tom-hey-toes, depending)
But eggs I find slimier
When thrown at the ugly face
Of that despised politician,
Love to watch the yellowish goo
Drip down the collar of his navy-blue five-thousand dollars suit,
A dash of rather orange ending on his silk red tie
Love to see the stunned reaction on the idiot's face
A guy with that greasy hair look
And indeed a guy who just walked out of that
Greasy Spoon joint across the street
Where he had the decency to have an order
Of Grits and Scrambled eggs
(After which sumptuous repast
He always leaves a generous twenty-five cents tip
For the ever-so-patient and tolerant Lucy)
And maybe not such an idiot after all
Considering he gets re-elected time and again
If we are what we eat as the saying goes
Maybe we are also like those we select for office.
A sad thought.

No Female's Right To Choose
or
Life and Pain -- Two Peas in a Pod
"When that I was and a little tiny boy, with hey, ho, the wind and the rain, a foolish thing was but a toy, for the rain it raineth every day
-- along with umpteen birth defects, deadly diseases, natural disasters, tragic accidents, and human abuses."
-- a former little tiny boy a current Levelheaded adult
*
No girl has any right to breed or not --
her having not an egg's permission got
to risk it in a world of wind and rain
inside the eye of one vast hurricane.
*
a dedication of Respect
for
the Rationally Ethical antinatalist,
Sensibly anti-dying in Pain by cataracts and hurricanoes --
et cetera and so on and so forth and such
dot dot dot
a revolving helios rhyme menippean satire on
natalism --
an ideology irrational still in floods of tears
february, 2023 -- billions of pro-lifers yet in full flow
in company with countless blastulas to be birthed
into ceaseless future horrors untold --
sans consent
(aside from a horror-free guarantee)

Pulsate in Space
A perilous ascent,
Bare feet
Touching the dirt -
Leaving
Divots
And dust, sent to
Air, there – in
A beam
Of
Sunlight,
Such a sight, such
A height,
Going viral
In
The mind
In a spiral
Ever upward – ever onward
To the place
Where
Eggs of eagles
Pulsate
In
Space.

Oda a Mis Huevos...Rancheros
This poem is dedicated to my huevos
Rancheros
Like the kind mom and dad used to make
The way they cut up onions and tomatoes
And how they seemed to decorate the plate
But as I got older I went a little further
And started adding some bell peppers
Cilantro and different kinds of cheeses
Sometimes cotija, sometimes cheddar
Once the onions and tomatoes are cooking
I start prepping those bad boys on the skillet
While on another pan I fry up a tortilla
I’m going to be diving in it in a minute
I’ve prepped the plate
With some refried black beans
A slice of avocado (even though I’m allergic)
And if I die, I’ll with a smile by all means
I love me some eggs
I make ‘em over easy
Cheesy
But not too greasy
And I love when the yolk explodes in my mouth
(Ooh)
I stack up all the little things I’ve added
Just the way mom and dad did
As the smell of breakfast fills up the house
