My name
is an inanimate object
whenever I am alone
or when I find myself in a crowd
clueless as to who I am
thus
I remain nameless.
Pronoun's
are not my name
per se
but it identifies me
thus
directly
"Hey you"
or indirectly
"Excuse me please."
Establishing contact
and acknowledgment
in some way, shape, or form
animated both objective phrases
as personifications.
Among familiars
my name exposes me
to my paternal and maternal father's
or my grandfather's
which in turn
goes further back
until recorded history
bear no relevancy.
One can go further back
before writing skills had developed
and before drawing on cave walls
and even further
when sounds and acting out were all they had
facing death all around them
until they gave each object life
by giving it a
name.
