Some people claim they’ve seen headless ghosts
why would a ghost appear like that?
unless a dead person lived in the vicinity where
once people lost their heads under the guillotine
or maybe it’s a metaphoric thing, like a person
who often lost his head, as in got angry, when living
losing it literally when angry in the afterlife
but I’m just kidding around here, giving you these
made up theories and hoping you never see
a spectral noggin heading toward you.
