The names we need
We need more accurate names,
for people, animals and things.
It has become necessary
to define, to declare, to determine.
Gone are the cute tags of names,
the diminutives,
the names with dimples in their cheeks.
We need
boring, reliable names,
bookish, biblical, stable and full of virtue.
You should hear a name and know instantly
what to expect from the one bearing it.
We really need to be more precise with everything.
It is advisable to choose each word carefully.
Nouns should by no means be vague or unclear,
hazy, cloudy or indistinct.
Otherwise, things will become too open to interpretation
and soon everyone will have an opinion of their own.
