Born Naked

Today is my birthday...
I randomly received this poem today from a weekly subscription that goes out to anyone who is signed up...

I love it...


BORN NAKED

I was born naked.

My beloved parents kindly gave me a name.

When I reached twenty, I thought

“A name is a chain, I want to abandon it.”

Whoever I question

No one answers me.

When I hear the wind in the pines

I get an answer.
