Back Next The Dead Head

we are all in a circle
not in a line
and we are spinning
and sometimes
the arrow stops here
and sometimes the arrow
stops there
and we being sympathy
to where the arrow stops
and sometimes even
flowers and chocolates
we bring
all of this happens to others
until it happens to us
and then we are cross
a victim of roulette
a passenger on the titanic
gasping as we go down
and drown
is dread
how can we be dead
for dead
is outside
our head.

Irwin R. Shaw - July 20th 1986
