eggs are okay

you read where you can eat
eggs now. the surgeon general
is on tv eating three boiled
extra large free range brown
ones. he puts a whole one
into his mouth. eggs are okay.
coffee too, apparently.
you break three or four eggs
into a bowl, scramble
them up with cheese.
you light a cigarette
and throw a half a pound
of bacon into the pan.
you are getting ahead
of the curve, a trail blazer
of good health.
