I LIKE MY EGGS JAILBREAK RUNNY

Tainted Priority by Thomas Nordwest

I LIKE MY EGGS JAILBREAK RUNNY

SLIP RIGHT OUT THE BARS RUNNY DRIP ALL OVER MY PLATE RUNNY

SPRING SHOWER SUNNY SUNNY SUNNY SIDE UP
SILLY SIDE UP SIDLE UP SADDLE UP TAKE A LOOK
AT ALL THESE LIL WHITE AND ORANGE AVOCADO WANNABES

THAT IMMACULATE PREGNANT CENTER THAT GROUNDED GOLD GLOBULE

THAT PUPIL-LESS EYEBALL READY TO BURST WAITING TO POP POP—
PLOP INTO A DANDELION PUDDLE SURROUNDED BY SOME WHITE

SEA SPECKLED WITH BLACK PEPPER FRECKLE FROTH FORMING
THE CLEAN-SHAVEN OUTLINE OF SOME VAGUE CONTINENT
WE’LL NEVER EVER DEFINE BECAUSE YOU SILLY GOOSE
THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS EGG GEOGRAPHY BUT, IT’S

A GUT-PLEASING PHRASE—QUITE THE GAGGLE OF G’S, THIS
GLEEFUL PLAYGROUND OF GLOSSY GLORIOUS GLOOP!
