You Are You

I asked when he came what is your name? He replied in a reflex I am called X. I thought he was joking or a mad man in the making. I smiled and asked why you are not called XY? There are many Xs who pride on their success, there are many Ys who think they’re the only wise. I asked if you’re nameless would people see you faceless? You said for life’s race to start one gets a name tag at birth. Someone had said truly name doesn’t matter really, rose is what it is because a rose is a rose is a rose. Your name maybe X,Y or U but you are you are you.
