Jesus
Our Jesus
Our Jesus a pincushion
**
I like this poem because each line builds on the last.
I like this poem because it’s simply constructed, like a cross.
I like the three of it: 1) Jesus, 2) Jesus defined by our possession of Him, 3) His pincushionness.
I like this poem’s three also because of the trinity.
Another three would be the three nails that went into Jesus.
I like how this poem is actually about voodoo.
I like how Jesus makes Himself useful.

I like it, too, and all your comments. I like how Jesus is hilarious here. I have to imagine he'd like it, too.
For me, this also resonates with a new sitcom, Raising Hope, with an adorable baby in it who was given a voodoo doll of Al Roker with pins in it. She put it immediately in her mouth.
I reassured my daughter that there was a baby wrangler there to save the baby.
Nice gloss.
From what I've heard, he was nothing if not useful/helpful in many areas.
