Prose poems containing 240 words, that being the number of words one can formulate in a second (2.6) multiplied by the length of time a severed human head retains conciousness (1.5 mins.). In it are: St. John the Baptist (sword), Henry VIII's wives (axe), Marie Antoinette, Louis XVI, and Robespierre (guillotine), Agnes Gwenlan (elevator), and Jayne Mansfield (car window). Please don't ask me to explain the chicken.
