The Male Ego

(I should like to have outgrown motives,)

I know you can't know me the way I do,
Nor see yourself as I see you.
Can the tug of unknown become the ignored?
Is there really a need to work out a score?
Let's just see, and touch, and be and do,
Create individual meanings for two,
and avoid that whole soap-opera life that I hate.

(But the ego, it can't always hold the mind's weight.)

  1. Try and try as I might, Jerry Springer pops into sight.
    With the first "I do" there is
    the in-law, "Don't mind if I do."
    Before you know it, soap-opera comes true!
    The lady of course, "...that means they like you!"
