double yolks

the double yolk egg
surprises me
when I crack it open
against the edge
of the black pan
and let it fall into a pad
of melting butter.
I wonder what it means.
I put the toast in,
pour some juice,
grill up some hash browns,
then settle in to
eat and google what two
yolks in one egg mean.
it means either someone
close to you is pregnant,
or someone close to you
is going to die.
a wide range to be sure,
both of which I hope
are untrue.
the odds are one in a thousand
that you'll crack open
and egg and have two
yolks.
I put some pepper and salt
onto the double yolks,
sunny side up,
and dig in with my
jelly jammed wheat toast.
