I noticed the headless statues
for the first time today
a pack of copper zombies
frozen in mid-run
and I can’t decide if they are meant
to be fleeing
or if they are happy zombies
running towards
a good friend
I don’t care either way
not in apathy
but in unconditional enthusiasm
for public art
after so much commuting
and shopping
for stuff
I devour this space
for wonder and strangeness
like a body
that has been given back
its head.
