two eggs over easy

i  crack an egg into
the buttered pan,
crackling with heat,
then another beside it.
i wait, standing with my
spatula to turn them
over. i sprinkle salt
and pepper on them.
how many eggs have
i cooked and eaten like
this in a life time?
quite a few, i think, as
the bread pops up brown
from the toaster.
