Misnaming Care

A lamp, an inert object
Does not care
For a table
Another object — thing

Caring requires
Being — subject
An un-thing
That cares for
A thing, an object

Thing cannot care for
Un-thing
And un-thing cannot require
Caring

Caring for another
Then only means
Subject
Tending to
An object

Mowing the lawn
Servicing a car
Is care
Or maintenance

Between conscious humans
Both subjects —
Care can
Only be

Where one is an object
And another subject

No different from
Maintenance
Servicing the car

Misnaming it care
