Lay an Egg

... Minutes before running out the door to read a fresh batch of poems for a live audience, I received a message from a friend.

"Lay an egg" he said.

Not

Break a leg 

or

Drink a keg

The man said, "lay an egg."

(And for some reason it made the whole world peel back 
like that snake skin I was writing about earlier today... )

*

I don't have to get hurt ------- to be lucky.

Or be under the influence of...

 Some

'Outside'

 Me.

Just lay the darn egg

It's already made

It just needs to be laid

And.

It's free.
