the cleaners

The only way to have open space
is to clean out the closet,
those old outfits
that really aren't you
anymore

i've got to look at each one
and consider,
is this still me,
or not?
will i ever be that person again?
do i still want to participate
in that activity?

which hat would i wear?

or would i truly go naked?

without this body
what am i?

this will take us to the cleaners

without the physical
what is?

without my dogma,
any history,
any past learning,
without the Course...?

wholly empty...
