I will change my name to pine
or straw
or maybe chair.
To just some random noun.
Maybe I will call myself orange
or toaster.
I was looking around the room and felt
I could easily call myself TV
or apple.
Wall or carpet would be good
even pill bottle
except there are no pill bottles here.
Wet jacket then,
Blackberry.

I love it, it's original and off the wall. "A rose by any other name..." What a great approach to the prompt. We can pick our OWN inanimate object and they seem random. The pill bottle is my favourite.

That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. --Juliet Capulet
