a rumination on two boiled eggs

one eaten the other about to be

 

    a double-acrostic egg-timer of a poem

     for dave on his twenty-ninth birthday

 

beware time at its saturn ebb

or bar its charismatic echo

it flatters with confetti

liaises an unreal trail

energy loses its core

denies a new thread

 

effort's a bore

guiltwracking

gimcracking

stagnates

 

salivates

getcracking

grailtracking

excitatory lore

 

dreams newly landed

eggs being mythic ore

let this vision prevail

in a cut shell's graffiti

orisons were feasted - ergo

be alive to the next wise orb
