Before Names

Nature left wild for longest time
with no names for knowing

Homo sapiens appears
for flickering moment

placing names in brief play
upon millions of millenia

to distinguish
flowers from trees
birds from fish
snails from other beasts

not essential then, I opine
for classifying Earth's stuff

just random survival
midst magnificent beauty

entirely a riotous
anarchic Garden of Eden.
