Hey - That dude 's a nerd
Well, that person 's flaky
I have my doubts about her
Those guys aren't mature
They ain't got their act together
I don't think you can trust 'em or 'er
How useful are such labels?
Who do they really serve?

Do labels blind / or expand our minds? /
To answer this
think more closely -
and eventually go beyond all signs /

Wan-Sze: How would you label this?
Will: Isn't the purpose of this art to go beyond labels?
Kasim: Come on! Don't be so naive. Labels are actually fascinating. They're a shorthand for in-depth thinking. To some degree, they are necessary. They reduce our cognitive load, giving us more space to look for things unexpected.
Will: Yet they often blind us! Are we not often slaves to our own labels?
Wan-Sze: Well, I would label this poem and image 'trash.'
Nadia: (nodding) Yeah. Let's move on . . .
