Hello my name is I was born without a body / just a head with brains for poetry / and my arms all gnarled and knotty / but my father, oh, he loved me / though I took his lover from him / on the day that I had lost it, she was taken from this existence And the doctor took my head and he attached it to a ribcage / made of steel and bolts and wires / and he pulled at me with pliers / and the lights were bright and shining / over the table and the gurney / and I must have screamed so loud it would have shaken the whole city / and they cranked my heart for beating and put gears in my knees for walking / told me I’d never be pretty / told me I’d never feel anything Oh mother did you love me when you sacrificed your body / or did my hideous form kill you like the kids at my school tell me Oh mother did you love me when you sacrificed your body / or did I torment and disgust you with my legs all curled and rotten
