Be brief

Be brief:
‘What is your name?’
I do not know
I ask you again:
‘What is your name?’
God knows
When I am old
With nothing left to lose
The whole universe to gain
When it is too late
To begin again
Then, shall I utter your name.
Do not fret about the hour of death
Our life is all we have
To commend us to the stars.
