ego is considered rational

narrow/personal
(don’t believe it goes beyond that)
self-interest
might be the dirtiest
word
of any language

it’s got us where we’re at
whoopee

id is gone
long live the id

Dear Ed,

I wonder if I could grab this poem of yours for use in the City Poetry zine? I like it a lot and it talks to where I'm at right now.

Peace,
