Twelve dozen. 

Maybe just one.

Crack each open. 

Open each crack. 

Careful. 

Mindful. 

No shells in the sink. 

Just think. 

You are her. 

Then stir. 

No denial. 

On trial. 

Recipe fits, try it.  

Topping too fat. 

Think of that.

Push. 

Shape eggs into mush.

Cheese sauce on top. 

Stop.

Bake ‘til done.
