The first of any month
is strange like
the peeling of a
hard boiled egg
where the sharp shards
if shell get all
stuck up
in cold fingernails
and the rubbery white
sphere of molded egg
jiggles and slips
plopping hard
on the white tiled floor
but it never breaks
just keeps it's shape
staying whole and
rolling off past the kitchen
and onto the warm
living room rug
where it stays
stuck and melting
becoming one with
the ruby red color
like a round white eye
glaring up at the world
unable to blink.
