He and He and He

Wherever he goes
go his alter-egos –
faltering and halting –
colorfully unprepared
for almost everywhere –

despite the care
they take to cover all
his bases. Too many
faces in the race
pretending to be one.

It isn’t any fun. He’s
singularly plural, caught
in intramural intrigue
with himself: out and in
and out of any league.

Mightily fatigued –
he and he and he
go on and on and on.
They sway a lot.
They weigh a lot.
