"Do you guys have a list of what you want to name your future kids?"

Obviously not, who would?

Certainly not me. I would never.

There's no reason to list

The name of family friends

On a crumpled-up piece of

Paper stuck under my bed.

Like Joshua, a minor league

Baseball player nowadays. Or

So I hear, but I could be wrong.

Or Neil, no actually scratch

That one. He would get beat

Up in school for being named

Neil. Maybe carry on a family

Name like Rae? But no, you need

To brainstorm girl's names too.

You can't rely on prophetic nightmares

Of baby boys to choose the gender.

Not that I would even consider

The names of future children

I'll never have, that's ridiculous.

I would never think to name an

Imaginary baby Kiera. If I would,

Which I wouldn't, I might stick with

The family theme of flower based

Girl's names. Something like Rose,

In honor of blah, blah, blah, and

Yadda, yadda, yadda. No one's

Really listening to the who, the

What, or the why, except for whoever

Carries the name. No one's really

Interested in the story of an old woman.

Great, Great Grandma Ruby, or Ruth, or Rose.

I'm sure it's something with an R.

Names jump from synapse to synapse,

As I look you in the eye and say,

"Nah, I'm not having kids" with

A guilty conscience. The girl calls out

Next to me with a laugh, "I'd name

My kid Spongebob."
