They say that
when the head
is severed from
the body,
***
there sometimes
remains a
single moment
of consciousness …
***
If that is true,
and I was to be
guillotined —
***
my head
dropped into
a basket
***
I pray I won’t find
another severed-head
all ready in it,
***
because that would freak me out.
Hah!

That’s freaky, all right. I guess the idea is to not put all your heads in one basket.

At least, in my final moments, I would be reminded of the years I spent with my head in a cabbage barrel.

Somehow, learning that the head in the basket has a wordpress account should not surprise me.
