FLOATING HEADS
You’ve all seen this guy.
Just a head with no body.
Floats around the office or factory all day
With no arms, no legs, no stomach, no heart.
Knows precisely what to do, how to act
What to say, when to say it, and who to say it too.
Always confident.
But ask how he feels…
He’s lost.
You’ve seen that one, haven’t you?
Somewhere around age eight
Body went numb
From the neck down.
The school?
The church?
The parent?
The fear?
The desire?
Who knows why.
Somewhere on the path
The magic stopped.
Years go by
Maybe he’s a father
Or a grandfather now.
The ground opens up
And the head falls
BOOM !!
Flat on it’s ear!
Never fails.
You can bet on this
Very good odds.
If a head is very lucky,
And many heads aren’t,
When it falls
It lands in the heart.
