\u201cNo eggs, you can get them at Lidl but only\ntwo\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Says the butcher,\nhanding over bags of chops and mince.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He wonders\nwhy I\u2019m not buying more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No eggs in\nthe supermarket<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Someone\nheard there were eggs at M&S<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At Blackfriars,\nsomeone\u2019s mum in Lincolnshire had eggs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We always\nhave eggs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eggs in a Tupperware,\nblanketed in paper towel<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Set on the\nwall on the patio.
\nEggs in a box with a decoration drawn by a young friend<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pushed over\nthe road in a doll\u2019s carriage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere were\nno eggs\u201d, my friend says, then<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEggs from\nmy mum<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eggs offered\nwhen I walked down the street\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eggs at the\nwholesalers: we can buy them as a group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Egg\ndiscussions in mobile chat groups<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Along with\nstories of coping in a tiny flat<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Being worried\nabout health, work, pay, the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Laughing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Standing in\nthe backyard with applause bouncing off the tower block, watching Venus hanging\nin the air, clapping and yelling for people who can\u2019t hear because they are\ninside tending the sick, sheltering the dying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are no\neggs, they say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
