Fear of coming out of my shell.

Fear of being exposed.

Fear of unknown.

But I like the unknown.

I'm curious about the world.

But there's so much. Its overwhelming.

Instead of breaking my shell, maybe I'll just make a little hole.

And when I'm feeling brave, I'll look through it.

I can always make it a little bigger tomorrow.
the cold smile of a
fragmented mouth &
a field of cotton
defying the god's ordinance.

Desperate visions of
flushed faces and
dreams of Hiroshima
breathing its own breath.
One crow after another,
dancing down the
old spiral stairs of poverty.
Roasted along with
regular cheese
and
with an ounce of crippled green peas!

A vegan in disguise
trembling like a cooking egg!

From where it began
Hen or Egg

Why do we ignore
The same thing
So easily
So many times

The moment
A mother gives birth to her child
The same moment
That child gives birth to the mother

Never before
Anyone called her
What the new born calls

A new career
Mother

As I sat at the kitchen table,
I saw my daughter- in- law fry an egg,
She discarded the egg yolk,
She was about to put it in the bin,
I took it from her.
Next my son returned from the supermarket,
He had bought olive oil for his pretty wife,
She was a freak on olive oil,
I asked for two tablespoons,
"Mum, what are you up to."
I smiled sweetly.
I had the Vaseline,
I need to put it on my hands and soles,
Honey is in plenty at home.
I steamed the Vaseline till it melted,
Took it off the heat,
Added other ingredients,
Meshed the mixture to a smooth paste,
My face mask for removing wrinkles was ready,
It worked,
Thanks Pinterest.

My toes don't point straight it's a problem!

I walk on my feet that lead to my knees!

My knees work with my thighs!

Thighs work with the hips!

Duck foot pigeon toe leg

Brace or back brace

Face the fact!

Dreams need
   to be
      counted on
fingers      and thumbs.
&   monkey is as monkey does
produce so well
   that it
      cannot think.

That's the matter.
in dispute.
Why --
why move?

Become
a pretzel of
the bottom half
and wait
long enough,
turn back

into
   an
  egg.

Confidence is going out in short shorts
With legs a gradient of egg white to fried egg
Too bad this yolk will not break
Trapped in the shell eternally.

What did the ***** say to the egg.
I am Y,
I have travelled a long way,
Open up,
Let me meet your X,
They have been ordained a Boy,
So it shall be.
