like the edit so far, i do so like the [having folded labour, time] line. very Einstein-Rosen bridge-ish

Contra Ayn Rand


Origami teaches more
    than dextrous fingers, memory, should it be dexterous?
    and seeing possibilities
    implicit in material unformed–

one also learns,
    having folded labor, time
    and vision intricately
    into matter, owning it– here's the rub, now we have two into's in short succession, my suggestion would be [to matter, owning it] it still works as in [bringing something to life] yet goes that little be deeper by also giving it intrinsic value. it also removes an [into]

to loose it freely
    into river, wind or fire works much better.
    without regret.

One thing
origami teaches,
    more than skill of fingers,
    memory, and seeing in a thing
    itself turned inside-out,
    implicit possibilities
    of material unformed

is,
    having folded one’s own labor,
    time, and vision intricately
    into matter, making it one’s own–

to loose it freely
onto river, wind or fire,
dispossessed without regret.

This started simpler, and I have the sense that it's become over-elaborated.  Advice on how/where to cut or simplify particularly welcome.
