STONE EGGS

Something is happening

Someone from the New Age says

‘Listen to the stones’

And you’ve 50 thou

With their heads on the ground

And another fifty thou

Gathered round the radio

Hoping a song

From forty years ago

Is coming on


I pay no attention

I’m with Mum with eggs

In the pan in the kitchen

Watching as they reduce

From a life of difference

To the same taste of eggs


Something was happening

It’s probably not no more
