Joseph's People

Naming the Baby
What a name to give a newborn child.
Jesus.
Don’t they know
he’ll have to wear it all his life? Bill or Robert would be easier to carry
through the years and up that final hill.
A man named Jesus has a saddle on him
from the first day on. They might as well have called him Marvin
or Jean-Claude.
Whoever heard of Frank or Fred being
strung out on a cross.
Mothers never think of things like that.

How many kids named Elvis
will grow up wondering? A man needs all the help there is
in later life,
just to stay anonymous in crowds. Don’t our fathers know
a man named Jesus or Rene’
will draw K.P. because he sticks out
from the rest? Those of us who wanted to
would still have known him from the other
Jims Those of us who needed gentlemen
would still have found him out.
