(Textos con acompañamiento)
De qué humilde gallina perdida
en qué corral será este huevo pálido que como,
esta clara raquítica, esta yema amarillita apenas...
Pobre de ti entre plumas, menesterosa y sucia,
puro culo... Pobre de ti, ruidosa fabriquita de huevos, triste gallina flaca que haces estas gemas perfectas, quebradizas... Yo como en tu homenaje este huevito... Apúrate, pon otro huevo
-arriesgas el cuello si vacilas-,
gime, compónete, desova... bien.
¡Qué lindo huevo, tibio, cálido,
salió entre tus huesitos!
Ahora gallina... apúrate,
acomódate... pon otro huevo...
pon otro huevo... otro más...
muy bien. Ahora… pon otro huevo.
