Front Man<\/strong><\/p>\n

How do You
\nImagine Jesus?<\/p>\n

(If You do at all.
\nI understand.
\nHe\u2019s been kidnapped
\nby some Unsavory Types,
\nwho want to pose Him
\nas a Judicial Officer.)<\/p>\n

Maybe You see Him
\nsurrounded by Kids,
\ncrawling all over Him,
\nbraiding dandelions
\ninto His beard, or<\/p>\n

Maybe You see Him
\nmaking sure
\nthere\u2019s enough wine
\nat the Party, or<\/p>\n

cracking jokes
\nwith a bunch of
\nDerelicts
\nhanging out
\nin the Park, where
\nHe brings Them lunch
\nevery day, or<\/p>\n

Walking on Water,
\ndaring His Followers
\nto join Him, or<\/p>\n

pulling more lunches
\nout of thin air,
\nafter hugging
\nThe Little Guy who hoped
\nHis Five Pieces of Bread and
\nTwo Fishes would be
\nenough for five-thousand
\nHungry Listeners.<\/p>\n

How about this:<\/p>\n

Could You see Him
\nas the Front Man and
\nLead Guitarist
\nfor an Indie Rock Band,
\nbouncing around and
\nflipping His long hair and
\ncovering \u201cDreams\u201d
\nby The Cranberries?<\/p>\n

Why not?<\/p>\n
