which came first,
the chicken or the egg?
a century old question
with no forthright answer
the chicken,
whose regal presence
defines
the world is his abyss
the egg
in meek stature
remains a gift
to its ceasing world
the chicken stands proud
a surefire bet
the world-
its audience
the egg
afraid of itself
the world-
its personality court
all the world is a stage
every saying- a game
you know how the story goes,
the chicken never gains
(b.d.s.)
