Rastapopulus is a wonderful name
taking time to be said
taking the length of your tongue to be out
and when you finally do speak it
a while more to sink it
and when you thought you'd just had it
it's then you realise
that it IS...AND it IS...
RASTAPOPULUS

what is in a name?
would the rose, given another name,
smell less sweet?...
then what is it?...
how do you call someone who just had arrived,
doesn't tell you his name,
or hers, for that matter,
does it suffice to say
...you ARE...who you are...
