Potatohead

*POTATO WALTZ*

I have a potato in my throat.

Showing myself.

Looking left and right.

I want to kiss...

I live in fear. An elegant doll strapped to a dirty window. She looks down
at the floor boards. I live in the dirt below.

I want to make a perfect circle.

Cut my world in chunks. Dip my chunks in salty hands.

Faster, faster. Don't move well in the light.

Explain. My skin. To me. I want to taste. Like a Working Honey Bee.

Do you work? Do you work? Are you working? Do your inner and outer parts
work? Does the world work for you?

I dance and dance and the elegant doll hides her applause and I lift my
webbed mouth to the dirty window and kiss her eyes.

Once more.

Potato. Waltz. Doll. Parts. Taste. Eyes.
