Terri Turrell - The Clever Egg

I speak with the shells of
your eggs
on my tongue
shards of them fragile
..though sharp

'what clever eggs'
you might say when you hear
how they censor my speech

and of course
I will act amused
and respond

...however you choose

for I too am clever
and after a time

I've learned how
to censor
myself
