The Life of a Man
By: Russell Edson
For
breakfast a
man
must
br
eak
an
egg.
Then not all the King’s horses and all the King’s men can do very much about it.
Past
perfect, the
broken
egg.
no longer
breaks, a
dead man no longer
dies...
And as he spills
the broken egg.
into a frying pan he murmurs,
Ah well, too bad aboutHumpty Dumpty...
