losing the will to live

be attached to nothing,
the swami says,
the guru says, Jesus says.
my therapist, Lee, says.
I even say it to myself.

I agree in the lesson of letting go,
to surrendering
all things, having no attachments,
they cause pain,

but I really love this black sweater
I wear nearly every other
day when winter comes.

it's so soft and warm and goes with
nearly everything.

if something happened to it,
if a dog chewed it up, or bleach
got on it,
I don't know what i'd do.

I may lose my will to live, especially
if Lord and Taylor's
stops carrying it
on the floor.
