I'm not a poet,
I just write thoughts.
Sometimes they take verse,
but mostly they do not.

If you feel a need
to put a label on everything,
I lament to see your state of mind
in a decade or two.

Your mind and world
will only shrink.
Names are useful tools,
but any tool used as a crutch
will fail.

Except , of course,
for crutches, but even then,
they're to assist when you need them:
the idea is not to need them.

The name that can be named
is not the eternal name.
