he considered on paper while riding into work on the bus

                                                                 it occurred to him as he showered

after breakfasting on three raw eggs he cracked directly into his mouth as he stood at the kitchen sink looking out  entertaining his backyard and garden and coop

a consideration of fried or scrambled eggs

                                               how they ever got there

fried

      their structure fixedset once and for all  hopelessly non-ever to be a chicken

scrambled

            their parts batteredbeaten shiftedround folded into one another  sheared transfixed obliterated

                                                                                                                  a whole something else unable to be concerned with the hopelessness of never being a chicken

he watched the lather from washing his hair sluice turnlazy down the drain

it hadnt been the eggs awareness that appealed to him

                                                          rather

their attractive elastic fluidity

                               their tasty aspect  the feel in his mouth  their slippingrelenting as he sucked chewed and swallowed
