the mundane egg

can't stand the idea of rotting in the ground

there are simply gut instincts for which we must report

didn't see what was happening, texting on the phone

trains passing by, rats being run over, drifting on the line

learned of an emotion so sobering

feel no longer the hit of ecstasy

can't feel the light of day

can't stand the feeling of rotting underground

he explains, the desire of cremation

the hope of fullfilling all expectations

in rhythm with the gates

a surface call going deep within the soul

didn't know what was to come

but went through the doors anyways

the last one, he was so young.

from time to time

the mundane egg asks

what is the last moment in time

before we learn

when is the last moment in time

before we give what we can take

cradle this shell

crumble the pain

bubblewrap the shock

and give what we can take

this is where he fell

fell out

of the mundane egg.
