#515 - nobody owns it

nobody owns it

for the series ‘teaching our children the truth of the world’

little parable for neo-cons

 

nobody owns

the first light or its fences

perspective – vanishing

the gods, their gifts

heavens, as we see, defaced                         

or quiver strings

 

nobody owns her his own heart

nobody owns angels

many have had

or take a simple disease –

just for common ground

please hither

 

nobody owns the picture we paint

everything is lent

      like this way the world

and wickedness sharing

by way of just a leer, a grin

 

take time –

cut and come again

they make it till forever

(efforts to save, perennial)

 

the tribe antics, flavour of thing

truth, though each has

 

nobody owns this idea

(the patent on patience

may be more than pending)

 

the vast

and take an exo-planet

(have a go at that!)

 

nobody owns their own excuses

… fate or simple facts

 

dinner digesting has a mind of its own

and who smelt dealt

 

nobody owns a dinosaur

though this parable’s for them

 

call the mist to bliss

who holds the day?

   or forgetting

this that crops up

set magic means and ends

               who’ll possess the spin?

come one, come …

 

who can hear the country?

it’s something no one can have

             like whiff

                 like lost your way

 

who has a Sibelius symphony

        may keep at home to play

 

the fall of leaf, the tendril up

come a cropper

 

the chattels of love are moment until

vanish in and as a dream

         hence

 

the slavery of pets is illusion

(cage and the chains are not)

 

and the black dog sold a pup

nobody owns up

   or down

anywhere you care to go

 

no one owns the chorus

who can claim applause?

 

books? you’d think?

they’re collecting you

… if you can’t see what the product is …

 

take a swig of the air at this point

wear a thing’s not the same as possess

nobody’s got that law’s last tenth

 

all sorts down the drain

and let’s take your smelly rubbish

the odourless as well

… things you ought to own

they’re gone gone…

so all of us must share

like the far choked fish

of the never legend

 

the seventh sea’s for piracy

kings colonize fresh turd

 

possession of a river

colour on a map

no one owns the rights to absurd!

 

the orchard light or afternoon

the water from a tap

nobody owns the day yet

though many stop the clock

 

the passion, the principle of popcorn

 

your millions and billions

are numbers

even paper is vanishing

little skies on our now desks

 

are crushing the life from things no one holds

from nobody owns the bones

the ancestors march on

 

eat me and drink me

 

pyjamas are a borrowed crime

 

rejoice in the dust no one can settle

and vanish in over our heads

 

no one has owned a rainbow yet

who catches cloud won’t keep them

 

this goes for anything I’ve said

 

as with the road, so conversation

 

these very words

how you read them

no one will ever own any of them

 

we’ll wait for the weather here
