Man Born as an Egg, Now Shells

We start out as stink and blur,
Those of us who will grow up

Fine and those of us who will
Grow up cracked or not at all.

Age makes us all look the same.
That there was so much not set

Down in books. That what we say
Can’t not be what we mean, yes?

How else could we mean? Like birds?
Oh, to mean like birds sing mean.
