a hen laid an egg
that broke when it fell from the nest
if that’s a homicide
is it first or second degree
with the mother hen
cooped up
for ten to twenty?
and the farmer that
frightened her off
the nest and made it fall
is that accessory to murder?
can the egg
be scooped up
scrambled or fried
or would I be arrested for
cruel and unusual punishment
or must I leave it
for the dead egg-person
whose rights are slowly oozing
across the coop’s
concrete floor?
