the late isabel * doll's head

i did what i had to do
a madding voice told me to
rip the head off the baby doll
lying in bed out the window
down, down the street
off the end of the block
where a council of cats
chit-chat, "Go rip it,too."


oh, look at those
baby blues.
one claw buried
down those
baby blues
see her head tossed
around and about.
pretty pout. what a girl!
see her curls
like a can of worms--
and she squirmed.
"i saw you do that."
don't ruin my bed you're dead.
