Poetic Breakfast

A few drops of Olive oil, and butter (just a smidgen),

     joining together in a hot pan - 

crackling beneath the egg,  freshly dropped from its
delicate, brown shell.   

One piece of perfectly shaped, whole wheat bread -

     toasted, and butter-teased, 

adorned with sweet basil, and carefully placed beneath
the gentle, soft yolk. 

Soaking up the flavors - 

     an infusion of white,
and yellow.......................and green,

all the way down to the
crispy bottomed
brown.  

The olive oil, the butter,
the egg, the basil,
the toast.

Yum.
