EGGS



We turn out

as tippy as

eggs. Legs

are an illusion.

We are held

as in a carton

if someone

loves us.

It's a pity

only loss

proves this.







STILL START



As if engine

parts could be

wrenched out

at random and

the car would

still start and

sound even,

hearts can go

with chambers

broken open.







THINGS THAT HAVE
STAYED IN POSITION



Things that have

stayed in position

may nevertheless

have almost no

root system. You

could unstick

and slide them

like chess pieces.

Much of this

apparently tenacious

earth is fairly slick.
