Have you ever seen hair

Growing an egg?

You won’t.

Have you ever been on the edge

Of some great adventure,

On the cusp of a worthwhile, audacious project

And then searched long and hard

For the one reason

Not to show up?

You’ll probably find it.

But the fact that you had to search so hard

For a reason to withhold your “Yes”

Likely means that your “No”

Is as ‘out of place’

As a hair on an egg.
