when you were kids
did you make others
close their eyes
say I have an egg
make a crack
with your left hand knuckle
on the house
then unfold your hand
egg-like
down their hair along
the soft boiled
craniums shaved for lice
the squeal of the victim
delicious fooled
how we lined up
to be next
like tugging paspalum

things you can only do once
hey -- that was a senryu!
