Names, No Rank And A Number.

It is the sound of another

name call, the roll of the tongue

of another insult

that leads me to believe that humanity

is headed

down a path

in which

people will find the quiet

thinning out

of people such as me,

to be good for humanity;

it is only a matter of time

before they go from name call

to roll call.
