five hard boiled eggs

i hear what

i think is gunfire in the house.

cautiously

i tip toe up the stairs

with my

Harmon Killebrew bat

i've had since

grade school.

i peek around the corner,

then see

an egg fly through the air

from the kitchen.

it explodes as it

hits the ceiling, i've left

the burner on,

and the water is all gone.

eggs are flying

everywhere.
