The violence of naming

what is your name?

names names
naming
naming
is identifying
distinguishing
placing
ordering
is categorising
you don’t need my name to relate

why name me?
just feel me
I am beneath, beside, underneath, with and above
I can hold you
you can hold me

I am a tree
forget Linnaeus
eat me
touch me feel me
