Names

I rarely name my pieces
during creation, waiting
instead for the final
word to set.

Why is that? Names
always afterthought.
I suppose it's the
piece that matters,
names are, after all,
incidental. You know;
"What's in a name?"

I'm tired of being
two-steps ahead:
full-on is a word,
or even a name,
it doesn't mean a
thing. So won't
someone explain
why it keeps
holding me back?

Someone teach
me how to slow
down. Backsteps
aren't possible.

It's so cold.
