I have a large messianic ego
it took me quite some time to come to grips with
after many years of being beaten down by public education
and self doubt
i was finaly able to confine it

i keep my godlike ego in a box
and since i am not a cruel keeper
it is a plexiglas box

there are air holes
and a small slot in the door to
pass its sustinance

i keep the plexiglas box under my bed
sometimes i go for walks
and take it with me

it’s not like the stares don’t make me unconfortable
on some level
but i feel like a cruel master if i don’t give it
an occasional change of venue

so off i go
gently strutting down the street
with my messianic ego in a large plexiglas box
that i tow behind me
