Is it an ocean island strand
where eggs collected from the sand,
and packed for scientific lab,
to study turtles as a brand?
It is from in a sea of blue
people transport the azure tray,
for under UV waves of light
their eggshell white takes cobalt shade.
But stare, no glare, the yellow ball,
all eyes alert, experiment;
directing focus on the strange,
a golden egg, some goose has laid?
directing focus on the strange,
a golden egg, some goose has laid?
