nomenclature

i know myself
i think
i know
no - no name
i know not what
i'm called
but am called to call out
to declaim & stake my claim
all the same
i am
NoName
no nomenclature
yet devised
to differentiate
the state of my nature
from those standardized
carbon copy cookie cutter classes
placing all their emphasis
on who goes what and where
and silently tear out their hair
lost in the fear
that when they're gone
it will be
as if they were never
never even there
replaced so quickly
but me
i comfort myself
that i am rare
that my disjointed jagged edges
that keep me from fitting in
do not fit their taxonomy
and so
unlike them
i am free
