The Man

The Man who gave names to all the animals
Did not know what to call himself
What he was called to be

Called himself names
But could not recall his true name
Created himself games
But could not play the true game

The Man who gave names to all the animals
Who created taxonomy
Did not know how long or how short
The measure should be

The spirit from within
The spirit from outside
Then broke in

Washing away what's petty
And placing what's important
In full view
And in full agreement
For people to see

(With thanks for a chat with a friend)
