The Egg
Embryonic chick no more Able than
its Exterior is strong
Its susceptibility not condoned by Mother Hen and not
revered by Farmer Lucifer—whose Own fragility
lies cold—
The stage of Not-Yet-hatched is tainted by an Absence
of cognition,
humble Weakness regarded with a Cursory pity
a deliberate Distance to elude wreckage
of the shell
