Circular Valentine

Words themselves teach us to think
by being themselves products of a thinking
that has been thought about and
at least originally expressed
as the sound the thing makes
when you hold it on your tongue
and struggle to repeat it
it feels circular I know
that the name precedes the delivery
that one uses it to call the infant out
even if the name is wrong and they
confuse you with someone else
your whole life long
