Men with Small Heads

and women with small heads

were everywhere

in my hometown when I was six.

Two men standing upon the corner: small heads.

Small head: a woman leans to gaze in her mailbox.

Then there'd be a certain quantity of normal bodies, normal heads.

Not everyone

in other words, in my hometown

had small heads

but many did, enough

that I'd say to my mother, father: wherefore

does that man have a small head?

I was glad my parents'

heads were normal-sized.

They were glad I mostly) didn't ask

why a one with a small head

had a small head

within earshot of that individual Apparently

these small heads

did not appear in like manner small to them.



They had my organ of sights checked first.

They took a certain number of x-rays of my skull.

Did I have migraines?

Did have pinhead fears, dreams?

Perhaps it was the angle from one side the windshield glass?

The local Dr leaning above me

with his penlight probing

my retina-his head was gigantic

and the hairs upon the back of his hand

were gibbeted like swords. Nothing wrong

with my organ of visions or my brain

that he could enumerate

but the heads I swore were small

were not, they were just your average heads,

circa 1953

just your average heads,

in America.
