labels

an argument

to exist,

to take up space,

to even be there

for you to read;

and numbers

and other symbols

like on a clock

or the brand names

on clothing

or equipment

constantly telling you

what is what

and this is that;

people

have them too

on placards

outside

their office door,

not to mention

their names

and the acronyms after

all this information

looking around

which is why

i think i like

so much

to be in nature

where nothing is named

except

the occasional trailhead
