head


by walter w johnson iii




i have a head
and the head has a top
in the top is a brain
overflowing with slop

i walk down the street
people ask me my game
they think something or other
and i must think the same

my arm has a hand
and the hand makes a fist
the fist holds a flower
but i have never been kissed

my leg has a foot
on the foot is a shoe
i walk in the rain
but my heart is true

i walk down the street
people ask me my name
i don’t know what to tell them
ain’t that a shame
