A superficial treatment of a couple of things and one appendix for everything else

 


1.


 


We name things


In our quest for meaning.


 


The things we named


It selves have no meaning.


 


Only our quest has a meaning,


But given by its name.


 


 


2.


 


We look for things


With our mind.


 


Our prey lays hidden


Behind our eye.


 


So does our famine,


So does our hunter.


 


 


3.


 


We transform things


That will alter us.


 


Things shift even


Without our favour.


 


Renovation is a name,


However nice.


 


 


I.


 


Things are things on their own;


All things we own are only more things.


 


Things are this and that and everything else,


Including that thing that is a no.


 


Things are us and we are things,


And sadly all the things we deem we are not.
