Ego Vs. Soul Thing

Let's Take A 
Crack At It.
(No Peaking.)

Ego, Well There You Go,
Right Away, That's Not
Just One Word...

Even If I
Narrow It Down
To A Trillion.

*

Psychology Paints It
Several Times As A
'Scientific' Term...

But That Science
Is Made With Babies
Having Tantrums
With Their Toys.

Very Specific Maybe -
Depending On A Dream.
Dragons And Butterflies,
Shock With ROAR-Shock!

Miss-Spelling Well Intended.

*

Let's See - Give It A Whack:
A Conscious Sense Of Self.

*

Whatever, That Wasn't Hard,
I Tried To Scrub All
The Pride And Vanity Off,

A Sense Of Purpose
Got A Little Rub Too.

Oh, You Mean THAT Kind of Ego.
How You Define Yourself?

There Sure Are A Lot Of
Various Forms Of Insult
Hidden Behind All Those
Walls, Judgements And
Justifications And Evaluations...

*

Here's A Good One:

   No Excuse Is Good Enough.

*

So, Narrow Narrow Narrow Down...

Ego=Self.

That Isn't Much Progress.

It Just Became Another Word

That's Way 
Over 
My Head.

Start Over - Dead.

***

The Competitor Is Out Of The Game.

I Mean, The Other Word Is Not
Even In The Same Arena...
Not Even The Same Sport,
Not Even The Same Consideration
Of Aspecting, Of Sportingness...
Of Consciousness...

Proudly Vague And Strong
With Pressured Flow
On Floods And Calm...

Not Even A Rain-Drop
Can Be Explained.
Not Even A Color.

-Gray Squirrel
