Callsigns - on what really stands between us

in #poetry6 years ago

CALLSIGNS

King six, this is Dog six,
Over.
Under fire, need backup,
Over.

Friends we are, yet so far away still.

Flight Speedbird two – fiver – one,
Don't take that dive again.
Just hold your heading true,
Push through that band of rain.

A bit closer here, yet a long haul still.

Sir, I know you are tired,
But try to put those in order.
Take your time here,
Your decision must be sober.

Great worker, yet empty still.
Hello mom,
Hope you are well.
Going back home,
Just a few more I got to sell.

Close ones, yet long way still.

I know you’re a looney,
I know you do care.
Teddy, stand by me here,
Because I’m lone ‘n scared.

Closest ones, yet same patterns still.

I, Daniel, take you, Kate,
To be my wife.
Here, there, everywhere,
Today and tonight.

Proper names. Yet call signs still.

Sort:  

I'm not entirely sure what I just read.

But it feels nice.

Based on what St. Augustine of Hippo considered, soul finds cognition in itself, thus in human relations there is no exchange of thoughts but only exchange of words. And this is one ow the ways to nominalism - names are just words with given intersubjective meaning which we hope to understand the same way.

I need to introduce you to @ilt-yodith, I doubt he'll show up but I can try.
