Namers of things

Thinking of delphiniums and pumpkins. Why? I do not know.

We are the namers

Of things.

I don’t think it matters

To rocks

Or birds

Or animals

Even plants.

Delphinium

Does not care

What we call it.

It is delphinium

When we perceive it

Blue and stalky.

A pumpkin

Is a pumpkin,

Round and orange

And carve able.

It carries seeds

For next year’s pumpkins.

It does not care

What we call it.

It just

Is.
