ENTER THE TEMPLE NAKED
When you arrive at the temple
Make sure you leave everything on the steps
Take off your clothes, your shoes, your mask
And leave the bags you have carried there,
Heavy after so many years of filling up,
For must enter naked and empty
Yes, you could pick everything up on the way out
But you may never leave the temple again
Or you could even slip out of the back door.
