Our ideas are never our own

Our ideas are never our own
Every time we express, the idea is changed by the words we find
Never do we find the perfect fit words
Every time we express, someone else hears with an accent, sees through their lens on the world
And we all add to what we hear & read & write
So that what goes in is not what gets ground up & what gets ground is not what goes into the casing
Our ideas are never purely ours alone
So our task is movement, stirring, starting, adding & combining
Conversation is central & every place
You are not you, I am not me, alone
Our lives are never merely ours alone
