I don’t own it

memorytimeidentitymortality

I don’t own it

How can I

It’s just a door

But it opens and closes

When I want it to

So who cares

About ownership

When something is mutually

Benificial

I guess that might sound like

Communism

When the truth is

It’s pragmatism.

Who said all isms

Were bad anyway?

Magenetism

Attracts its share

Of supporters

From opposite ends

Of the spectrum

Sometimes we are pulled

One way or another

Iron filings

A physics experiment

An illustration of

Fundamental laws

Binding us together

Pulling us apart

We all carry a spark

Perhaps that’s why

We are attracted to some

And repelled by others

I have no idea

If I am positive

Or negatively charged

Perhaps I am both

At once

Caught in two minds

Who really cares

Just so long as

I can open a door

And shut it

Firmly

When I want to become

A closed circuit
