If we conclude
that the cart can pull the horse-
would we arrive
before our name?
Say we saw the shells
showing
the chicken hatched
his plans
first
How many baskets will we need
to not shatter
the image we
reflect into existence
consciously mirroring
before me?
Just One
holding half
of the analogy
pulling the last straw
to see
who goes
first.
