Ode to Things

We are wonderful Nobodies

with the gimmick of logic

and the gift of nonsense

slaves to duty & love

and freed by the things\

that enslave us

sharing pain & pleasure

and alone

sorting thru names

in an unnamed universe

and proud

collecting objects
we no more own
or understand
than
air in our lungs
or stars we buy

collecting dust

waiting to become dust

floating around that star on dust

slowly becoming what
we love and loathe
