Names


A rose by anyother name

Would smell as sweet

But would a person

by any other name

be the same?

 

Is a name a part of you?

Doesn't it change when you do?

Nicknames,

Lastnames,

When you become a "miss", "missus

Or a "mister".

So would the reverse be true?

Would you be you

If you name

Wasn't a part of you?
