i put a few eggs
into the pot, then turn up
the heat.
they boil.
the water bubbles and steams.
it doesn't take
long, but soon they're ready.
hard boiled eggs
ready to be peeled,
their hard jackets removed.
ready to be eaten
once cold, i set them
in their holds, one
beside the other, then
into the ice box they go.
later when i arrive
back home, i'll have one,
salted and sit by an
open window and remember
all the things that i know.
