Nameless
wanting to state a change
When you want the same
but advocate difference
do you need a name?

Who would be distinct
without definitions
less the leash
free to roam
nameless
minus a bone.

after all
we're born without names
who cares what you're called
in the end
minor details walk
covered by aimless talk

So they live differently
stepped on and off
in cotton clubs
on roofless terraces
with the same cocktail glass
sometimes mistreated
greeted
as homeless...
once a dog
less a bone

If someone wanted to say
come on lets advocate change
but keep constancy
we would promote
radical change
who me?
lover of outdoor cookouts
and mowed golf courses
no place for
foreign headscarves
for freedom speakers
might as well roam free
like the wild dog
without a home

When you want the same
cause change means pain
you stood in
cordless lines
your leash enshrined
you were freed
from black widow grasps
is distinction important
can I remain
without a name?..
forever roam
minus a home
stateless
nameless

Well, the first thing that came to my mind as I read your intriguing poem was the adage, "Change is as good as a rest." lol

I often have to put my thinking cap on when I read your word wizardry!

Happy spring hugs,
Linda
