there are more

things with names

walking down

the city street

than there are

walking on a trail

in the woods

—or at least more

of the names

that i know

—being that i know

the makes

and models of cars

and names for

certain types of people

better than

the species of trees

or types of stone

—so when in the city

i can say about

the businessman

and the BMW

or the gas prices

at $3.95

but in the forest

i can only say

there are trees,

rivers and rocks

and lots of them
