Please Remove My Name

Downtown there’s a man who will write
my name on a grain of rice for 5 euros.
I’m sure he’s a decent man who could use
5 euros, but what would I want with that?
Please remove my name from all grains of rice.
I write my name on the dirt in the eaves.

As I reading this Neil Young's Unknown Legend was on. Your name is already etched in so many places that indelible.
