attachments

i am attached

to my car.

my clothes. my money.

i very much

like this belt that attaches

my pants

to my body.

these shoelaces

attach

my shoes to my feet.

i am attached

to this coffee that wakes

me up

after sleep.

i'm attached to music.

to art.

to books on my shelves,

even the ones

i've yet to read.

i am attached to the old

things,

to the new.

and despite my

buddhist leanings i find

myself attached

to many things,

but not you.
