Routine Conversation

Like talking to a very old friend.

It was routine:

     sunrise, sunset,

          sunrise, sunset;

Just sit down, relax and listen,

     for if you name something

          then it is as though you have created it.

After all: man was named by woman.

     It had to be that way;

          for who protects their offspring like woman?

     and who gives a name even to the explorer?

Yes, if you name something

     then it is as though you have created it;

At the garden's gate garments were prepared,

     skins from an animal: surely made by a hunter,

          who carried a spear requiring assistance only of skill;

     to harvest the animals named by man;

          each creature serving only one perfect end,

               as each having its own purpose and nature;

Thrust discovery as the sailing spear,

     that whose nature is compliance, is balance,

          with an axis of rotation fixed for routine,

     sunrise, sunset,

          sunrise, sunset.
