Subject: snap: eggshell

After lunch I throw
the eggshell away.

In my pensive mood
I think of it as everyday

as the falling away
layers of living flesh

as we go about,
walking, thinking, writing.

As to the egg, I have
little knowledge to

respond philosophically.
Instead, I brush my teeth,

this habit of a lifetime
a kind of shell itself.
