/ games
let's play a game.
pretend you are not you.
careful-
you are not me either.
no,
you are not anyone else.
drop your habits.
drop your preferences.
drop your petty,
worn out cliches.
everything you know
is wrong.
there is only you,
but not the you
you think
you know.
pure
and clear
and alone
and unique,
this is what you are,
observing yourself
in the many forms
you express
all around yourself-
observing
and being
observed.
but after awhile it gets boring.
else why play this
game at all?
to forget who you are,
to lose yourself in the display,
to experience fully the miracle,
until you drown in it-
those who say there
is no meaning
to life
have forgotten
so well,
perfect expressions
of individuality.
now,
stop pretending.
