The Worth of a Name

Literature Text
What is the worth of a name?
Is it in the symbols that designate the sound,
Or is it simply the fact that these
Arbitrary modulations of sound waves
Are the only way we know to indicate that guy in the corner
Who has no other singular trait about him?
Or is it all we have left of the person we loved
And lost -
But never knew well enough to call them by?

And lost -
But never knew well enough to call them by?
Sometimes you have to ask if it is wise to name the dead.
