Illusory Self

Illusory self is narration —
No narration
No illusory self

But not all narration —
Is illusory self

Illusory self
Is narration
Comprehended and believed
By no-self —

Of the narrator
Or of the listener
Both —
No-self

Illusory self, then
Is the capacity
Of no-self

To cloak itself
In narration —

Dis-identification from illusory self
Is non-action because
No-self exists
To act

And no-self remains —
To believe — even comprehend —
The cloak of narration
The so-called illusory self

Or to live, recognise, or comprehend
The so-called freedom
From illusory self
