Acts of Having

Telegraph Poles in the Snow, by Rob Cartwright

Even our bodies and minds are regarded as 'things' we 'have.' Life is said to be the most valuable thing we possess. Consequently, body, mind, and life are all looked upon as objects that 'I' can somehow keep or lose. Here, as in all acts of having, a gull is created between the possessor and the possesses.
