Eggsistential Crisis

by Alex Steelsmith

“[T]he ongoing bird flu crisis continues… and eggs become pricier and harder to find…”
Comstock’s Magazine

Higgledy-eggledy,
avian flu virus
stays in the headlines; the
story has legs.

Maybe by Easter we’ll
semi-ironically
find that we’re no longer
hunting for eggs.
