In the end, the person says, “ . . . I guess I’ll sit down / On this rock / And rest for just a minute . . . .” (p. 25). The rock, as the picture accompanying the poem shows, turns out to be the person’s lost head. This story is obviously impossible considering the biological fact that when a person is decapitat .....
