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.
