Losing One's Head


Not to be morbid, but as I was walking along the sidewalk today I passed this, well, slightly morbid sight/site. It is indeed a disembodied bird's head. It was just sitting there, mysteriously, in silent protest.

I'm debating on writing either a short story or a poem about it. I'm still mulling that over and will add something more here in a few days. But here's the picture for you to consider.

I know this feeling.

Do you remember that this happened before? We were walking by Soldier Field, coming from the Field Museum and we saw a severed mallard's head in the grass. Maybe you have a thing.
