NOW

All I pretend to own, 
you loaned me; 

all that I know 
or care for 

has only just appeared here—
without my seeing 

how it came, or 
from where.

And when you bear it away—
as I believe you must do

because you have told me so 
repeatedly before—

I suppose I do not have 
to wonder 

what time it will be 
when that happens, either.
