I lay in my Hospital Bed
I am still breathing
I have no Body
You see I am nothing but a Head
The Doctors have told me that I will
walk again
But I think they are being optimistic
I have no Body
Therefore I have no Legs
As I lay in my Hospital Bed
I like a Bowling Ball with Hair
I no longer have any need for Clothes
And I have no need for Socks or Underwear
But the Doctors keep telling me
That my future looks bright
Even though I am a Head without a Body
I should still be alright
As I lay in my Hospital Bed
I look down at the Floor
It is a drop of three foot or more
I have another look and wonder if
I roll out of Bed
Would I bounce?
Or burst open like a Watermelon?
I guess there aint no telling
Nurse comes to my Bedside to give me
a Sponge Bath
I am not a Man
I am not by half
So it doesn’t take long to give my Head
a Wash
But as the Nurse starts to dry me off
I end up on the Floor gosh
Well I start to roll like a drugged up Medicine
Ball
I roll out of my room and get halfway down the
hall
Then I am scooped up and passed back to the
Nurse
She gives me a look all sullen and terse
Like it is my fault
That I am just a Head
You know I had a little accident
MY Head got caught in an Elevator Door
My Body went to the next Floor
But my Head didn’t quite make it
As my Head hit the Floor
I screamed ‘I don’t like this bit’
‘I don’t like it at all’
Well my Doctor came around again
And he that with a few Skin grafts
I should be on the mend
I think my Doctor has gone round the bend
You see I have no Skin to graft
I t all ended up at the bottom of that Elevator
Shaft
As I lay in my Hospital Bed
I feel the start of a panic attack
So I blink my Eyes and twitch my Nose
To make the Nurse come back
I have no Hands so I cant press the Emergency
Button
I am starting to think that I have been forgotten
But then the Nurse comes rushing back into
my Room
One of the other Patients has passed away
I close my Eyes with Sorrow
I cant think of anything to say
She reassures me that everything is alright
And She pats me on the Head
And She wishes me a goodnight
In the morning I wake up with a pounding
in my Chest
But it cant be anything
Because I am nothing but a Head
Just a Head none of the rest
I think I am feeling Phantom pain
Will I ever feel my own Body again?
I see the Doctor approaching my Bed
What will he tell me this time?
Maybe he will tell me that my Head has been
hired out as one of those open mouthed Clowns
in sideshow alley
Or maybe they will give me a Wig apply some
makeup and call me Sally>
But none of the above apply
And I will tell you why
My Doctor tells me that a Skeleton has been located
And that it will be attached to my Brain Stem
So I will no longer be just me
Some of me will be them
So the Skeleton is attached in a nine hour Operation
And hopefully there will be Bone fusion
And my Nerves want short circuit and blow a fuse
I just hope that when I wake
The Doctor will give me some good news
And for once the news is good
Everything is going well so far
The Skeleton attachment was a complete success
I now have a Body of sorts I guess
So now I am a Head
With a collection of a strangers Bones
Now all I did is some internal Organs
And a covering of Skin
My Doctor tells me that strands of my DNA
are attaching themselves to the Bones
So all of my internal Organs should start to grow
Maybe I will be tall and handsome
You never know!
Three Months later
And the Transformation is almost complete
I feel a lot like Frankensteins Monster
Except there aren’t any Bolts in my Neck
I also feel like Violinist playing on the Titanics
Deck
Will I swim or will I sink?
I am feeling OK
I am in the pink I think
Six weeks later
And I walk out of that Hospital a new Man
I say goodbye to the doctor and Nurse
And I thank them for all their help and attention
And I walk out of that Hospital with a smile on
my Face
I am going home to Tarana Place
I am now a Walking Head
Attached to a brand new Body
Everything is working properly
I feel like a brand new me
Or should I say a brand new you.
