La Vie

Life is a closed clothes closet.
The beginning had it empty.
Again, it’s empty now.

I saw nothing there. nothing left for me.

I needed to be clothed.
More. More. More.

Clothes were my addiction.
More. More. More.

Money all gone, no place to live, bare feet on the floor
But More. More. More.

I filled the void encircling me with
More. More. More.

And my reflection one day told me
Clothes meant nothing at all.
So I threw them all away.

I started over.
