The home extends the self
Making inside outside
And separating inside from outside
Self from other
I feel myself about the house
Feel my commingling with the others who live here
Who also expand into the home
Each of us a source of home
Each of us benefiting from it
Giving each to others
Taking each from others
I have company over
And I can feel them inside me
Not just the me that I let be outside of me
The me that expands into being a home
But also the me I inhabit
Insofar as body and mind are separate
A principle of sympathy at play
That may itself breed added sympathy
