The Man with the Plate for a Head

Round white and luminous
it is not unlike the moon,
or the clocks you have above your tram stops
or the mint for that matter.
The mint that matters is the one i held in between
my thumb and forefinger, replacing your head
with that of wile mina the queen.

I have a plate for a head also,
in front of it pass clouds of life.
