Disassociation

Disassociation                                                                                          

Oneness is attained (apparently)
by disassociation from the illusion of self.

These deftly orbiting aggregates
don’t mean the hub of self exists

as more than a not-quite-arbitrarily
selected point in space, a makeshift home

where we might hang our cognizant hats
until we’re ready to walk away from it all.

There is only one attachment to break
(which propagates all others) –

Oneness is attained by disassociation!
O pilgrim, honor your name –

quit the symbiotic partnership
that binds you to one spot

and venture forth, toward
whatever there may be beyond.

O child of God, infinity has no center.
To what do you daily tether yourself?
