known unknowns in poetry

everywhere everyone
everyone everywhere
has a name
had a name
was called
something particular
by very many someones
if not anymore
at least once

just because those
names did not survive
in the mouths of the
“important” people
in the mouths of the
“right” people so as to be
written down in histories
doesn’t mean
they did not
have names

they had names
they have names
everywhere has a name
everyone has a name
we are flush with names
from the top we
have our names
and all the way
down as well
names
