[bodytext] => Is it our names that make us man, or do we have something beyond whats written in the sand? Do we not stare at the sky and count the stars like coins in a wishing well they reveal and swell the soul that makes us real, that makes us tangible, managable, countable for these names arent those assigned for our heart but our number in a line of millions. As many as the twilights we see and believe for every star you see can be bought and sold at a whim not unlike the nameslaves weve become, and with time will there be a difference between a name and number. Calling citizen 235-492-495 to the rations office. dont forget your ticket. Or you wont eat, but would you trade your bread for dreams, your water for identity. So stare at the stars and try to recall the name of your soul, and in the cold recall the part that makes you whole?
