It's a hard day a day that is hard,
unlike soft days like fried eggs.
No, this day is hard.
Hard like a stone
and hot--
hot enough to fry an egg on.
This day is hard.
Hard like a handle of an axe.
Hard like the stone on the beach.
Soft days are soft like cushions.
Smooth like the lace curtains blowing in the wind.
Wet like a river running over rocks.
