Ego, He Go

What’s that?
Cousin.
Yippee Ki-yay.
Dandelion.
Fossil.
Backtrack.
Away.

Ask me.
Bridges.
Unfortunate.
Stuck.
Dragonflies.
Millions.
Lost in the muck.

No way out.
Falling star.
Never present.
Not that far.

Have it.
Saw it.
Lost it.
Clean.
Pick it up.
Baggage.
Lean.

Smoke and mirrors.
Greater good.
Lost on him.
Know he should.

Block and tackle.
Run the route.
Uphill battle.
Scream and shout.

Worn out.
Carry.
Cluttered vision.
Health declines.
Fears incision.

Needing stitches.
Gushing wound.
On an island.
He’s marooned.

Left alone,
Made his bed.
Ego got him.
Lost his head.
