who are you? are you
your employment status,
businesswoman or retired?
your marital status, long
divorced, but dating? are you
your smooth face, gleaming hairdo?
are you a poet? or a poem?
published or unpublished?

All processes are impermanent
All phenomena are not ‘Self’
This is the pathway to purity.
