we share our hearts and share our heads,
and what remains?
are we filled to the brim with what others have shared?
overflowing?
or are we partially less? giving more than given.
full heart, empty head
hard heart, used mind
used body, empty stomach
broken body, full
heartless, headstrong
mindless, heartlong
-ing
if you make me want to be more than i am,
am i already less than where i began?
there is no option.
we are shared. we are sharing.
and if the exchange is fair, we’re neither better nor worse,
completely incompleted by another.
