Field guide No. 1532
Aftertaste
The spoons got eaten first
A pale green kitchen sink piled with silver spoons, each one with a bite missing from its bowl. Seconds, apparently, were not offered.
Field noteSpoons carry the bite to the mouth; these have had bites taken out of them instead.

Bad applesWindfalls rotting outward into flat furry caps, each one a fruit halfway to fungus.

The egg’s long way homeStretched into a tube, still an egg, still commuting. Shells do not draw out like taffy, but nothing here contradicts.
