Ego Insurance Poem by Hans Ostrom

Ego Insurance

Rating: ★3.5


Next time, I'll buy insurance
for my ego. Then if it should
be crushed in a ruinous affair
or cracked in aspirational failure,

the Insurer will present me
with compensation-
perhaps a cup of Swedish coffee,
a kind word, or a small award:

Totally Insignificant Person of the Week.
