The Enchanted Namesake
I read the story long ago
I wrote the author
He never wrote back
But then how many
Contacts were there like mine
To say the name
Was mine as well
Did he ever take it as an indictment
As if to say,
It’s not my fault
I had my troubles, too, with it
Please leave
Me alone
On the jacket was the mention of
A bookstore
Which sounds pretty good
To me
A good life for which
I’d wish him well,
Of course
Well, I thought the name was silly until
It wasn’t
And the English teacher
Liked in fact
Having a literary character
For a name
As well as
A real person
