all life is loan

A silly syllable, this word, this Own—
These words mine own and all that follows them;
This place mine own and this decision mine—
when truer said, it isn't own but share
that faces us and interacts with thoughts
we love and birth as independent whims—
I've no control and nothing own; I give
and trust that conversations' thrust will sieve
out any worthy gem of thought from hymns
and diatribes I share— like polyglots
have ever had to trust their words to care
of those who translate your thought out of thine—
It's almost meditative: Own— but hem
nirvana by the thought: all life is loan.
