Gravity

Oddly enough,
Eggshells seem to ignore gravity.
On a dim Sunday morning
They are hard to crack neatly,
Leaving their cargo loose
In the black, shallow iron pan,
But there they then sit in the sink
Refusing to go gently down the disposal
Perched lightly on the black rubber
Floating above their ultimate end.

After the morning eggs are eaten
Their remains sit there in the sink
Reminding us of our trespasses.
