Contra Ayn Rand


Origami teaches more

    than skillful fingers, memory,
    and seeing possibilities
    implicit in material unformed;

one also learns–
    having folded labor, time
    and vision intricately
    through mute matter, owning it–

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

Once again, I've applied much of the advice from the valued critics, perhaps not exactly as given.  Thank you!

@billy - "dextrous" is given in one dictionary as "var. dexterous," but, really, it had to go instead of an unsightly "dext'rous."  Similarly, this is about the best preposition I could scare up that was neither 'in" nor "into."

Punctuation tweaked per @Knot, and a bit further.

My main dilemma now is whether to replace "loose" with "toss."  The t's would click nicely in that stanza, but it seems a little light for purpose.
