On
the radio the news reported
a
plastic skull was found to be real.
For
years and years people
gazed
at the chiseled hollow and
never imagined what face
might have once covered
the exterior painted
the color of dust
curious eyes left
blank no sight of memory
upon the grave shelf
postured without a neck
lying poised to answer
the unmasked question
How did that get there?
For years and years no one
questioned the origin - the birth of the skull
adopted
the owner of the shop placed a
placard in front of the
wide wide
grin
which
boasted Plastic skull for sale.
Now I know why the skull was laughing
after years and years
of pretending to
be a fake a sham
a pliant fixture
the skull exposed the revelation.
The Skull Is Real
was announced
on the radio and
everyone wants to know
How
did that get there?
