We all start
with an egg

scrambled
hard-boiled
fried...
with a side of ham
for the breakfast meeting
of one Carl Jung

there you go again---writing a poem with an easy flow and I ride its surface with uncomplicated joy and then you throw a tsunami at me and I have to find a life raft called Carl Jung that I vaguely recall from long ago college shores---top marks of course

An archetypal omelet is sizzling somewhere in my subconscious now.

Eggs - poached, boiled, scrambled.....delicious yet a meeting with Carl Jung? Wonder how Freud would react!

Great question! I already threw Freud into the soup so I left the personality issues for Jung.
