i have five heads five minds
i am a tree from a seed
that fell out of a dirty mouth
i have five mouths
five heads five minds five mouths
five eyes i have one hand
and five fingers
one finger to scratch one head
people must watch me as i walk
down the street with all those legs
and all those heads and all those
mouths
at night i cradle the smallest of them all
i whisper stories to her and tell her to sleep
nobody can quarrel with you today
i tell her with my third mouth
while the second licks her hungrily
she falls asleep, they all do
and i am alone.
i dream different things
i dream a feast with bright lights
jellies and wineglasses
and five heads
on top of five plates
