Accidents Analysis

Author: poem of Russell Edson Type: poem Views: 7

  The barber has accidentally taken off an ear. It lies like
something newborn on the floor in a nest of hair.
  Oops, says the barber, but it musn't've been a very good
ear, it came off with very little complaint.
  It wasn't, says the customer, it was always overly waxed.
I tried putting a wick in it to burn out the wax, thus to find my
way to music. But lighting it I put my whole head on fire. It
even spread to my groin and underarms and to a nearby
forest. I felt like a saint. Someone thought I was a genius.
  That's comforting, says the barber, still, I can't send you
home with only one ear. I'll have to remove the other one. But
don't worry, it'll be an accident.
  Symmetry demands it. But make sure it's an accident, I
don't want you cutting me up on purpose.
  Maybe I'll just slit your throat.
  But it has to be an accident . . .
