no...like controlling how you handle the trappings of material stuff is a part of that. in mainstream christianity, it is preached that you be "in the world, but not of the world." to some, that means be different enough so people can see it. to the amish, it means no electricity. to jim jones, it meant...give it all to me, and live in my commune.

rita got a letter from her second husband
told her that he might be passing thru town next wednesday
wouldn't she like to get together, catch a movie, fool around?
he didn't write that, but she read it
rita couldn't help but think there might be trouble
something in the way he signed his name...peculiar
calls himself nirvana now, instead of beauregard,
that makes it awful hard...
because you see
he gave away her alimony
he never even bothered to thank her
for not calling the law....that wasn't all
he gave the car
the dogs and her brother's guitar
the one that he sent back from rio
back in '73!

they say....................................
relinquish your material items
(your window on the world)
come out, be separate
and i will go tooling around in the car that your stuff bought me.
