from Light: “It’s very strange”
It’s very strange
the eggs are everywhere
There must be some mistake
the eggs are so close together
There seems to be no room for us
Push the eggs closer together
It’s impossible
We must get closer together
but beloved what will happen
with all the eggs everywhere
what will happen everywhere
to us
There must be some mistake
