Cracked Egg

You crack me up
the way you refuse the join the crowd:
where others are content to sit and wait for their chance,
your impatience always gets the best of you;
where others remain happy to be part of the bunch,
you walk along the eggshells, snapping pieces off
in order to expose yourself as unique,
and more interesting than the rest of the them all.
Oh, where you reside,
there are sunny-side ups — and worlds, over-easy –
but you scramble the expectations, don’t you?
Keep cool, my friend, or you’ll rot from the inside out
and get tossed away as another outcast
who raised too much of a fuss.
