another brown egg

how many
eggs
have i cracked on the edge
of this black
pan.
scrambled, or
turned over easy.
how many dozens
of eggs
have i eaten
in a lifetime?
with toast,
with bacon, with
hash browns?
washed down
with orange juice
and coffee?
who knows, who's counting?
i drop
the butter in
the middle,
then crack another.
