What is significant about the title of the poem?

It suggests we need to be singular (One) in our focus on making something good come from bad.

It is short just like how we can never hold on to things or people for long.

It suggests that we remove the pain of loss by first levelling out everything that we lose; from door keys to houses to people (One) and second by mastering the fact of losing through practise (Art)

It shows we need to make art out of suffering.
