EGGS for BREAKFAST
Bill Ferehawk
Early morning. I walk to a local cafe and order coffee and eggs.
I’m chillin’ waiting for the eggs, sipping coffee, thinking about the sunrise, and then...
egg images takeover my mind.
I shift around in my seat to try and reset but catch a whiff of the kitchen.
Damn. Can you smell it?
Then I get hit with an unfortunate glance at the floor.
All I want is to sit in a cafe filled with morning light, shining tabletops, steaming cups of coffee, all washed with a tasteful mix of welcoming colors.

Now I’m tormented by eggs, fried eggs.
Which reminds me, I recently read an article in Hyper Affluent Collector about an obscure drawing by Ed Ruscha called Fried Egg. Ruscha made the piece using disappearing ink and no one has seen the drawing since he created it in 1974. HAC commissioned a credible rendering of the drawing based on a verbal description.

Eggs a la Unsavory. I can’t fucking deal.
I take a slug of coffee and scroll to a vintage cat photo.
