NAMES
grand lies
this world’s sounds

turns us from what’s real 
to the conceptual 
to the imaginary 

“Dead leaves of the eternal truth”

Names

Naturally particular, normally pedantic, never problematic - pessimism notwithstanding.

Thoughtfully intuitive, interested in thinkers; tactile in time, nuance in tenderness.

Because this was way before boy named Sue

When Faces Have No Names

It’s so quiet out here 

In the dark...

When faces 

When them faces 

Have two names

No name

It’s so quiet out here in the dark 

When those two faces have no names . . .

Of that which cannot

Be named..

Forming stories

Arising interpretations

Of that which cannot

Be named..

Amazing that

Names are already

That which cannot

Premium Member What They Do to Names

it is hilarious to me that crib means home
that bread means money
that John means toilet
that Dick means
Well, you know
But I am not happy about what they have done….

and it makes me sad.

There's a Man Going 'Round Taking Names

There's a man going 'round taking names

It might be the name of someone you love

It might be the name of someone you loved

There's a man going 'round taking names

I have wanted to know a name; her name

Not to take it; to whisper it
