Names

Are you Sherry with an "S"?
Or is it Cheri with a "C"?
Is it "S-H-A-R-I"?
Or "-E-R-R-I-E"?
Andrea or Ahndreah?
Alisha or Alicia?
One "T" or 2, Matthew?
Are you Erin with an "E" or "AA"?
How many "L"s in Isabelle?
Does your Sarah end with "H"?

You may think I'm obsessed
About what's in a name
To me it's a lot
I can try to explain
Are you Josie to your friends?
or is it always Josephine?
I don't want to condescend, Jo
When you hand me my cappuccino
Because I see you every day
And as stupid as it sounds
I don't want to be a stranger
"-EE?," "-EY?," "-EIGH?"
They say that God is in the details
Bradley, I've got to nail your name
Before I hit "send" on this email
This may seem like a joke
about an anxious mind
My OCD chromosome
working overtime
Or you might think it's a stroke
a canny social climb
But I'd like to believe
that it's more benign
I just want to connect
(only connect)
In this sliver of time
Even if the cement
is an "E" or an "I"
Or a "Y"
