SPACE JUDY

When she had her period,
Space Judy
would run into the street
and howl at the moon.

One day,
we were having a group discussion
in the Village Project.

Judy looked straight into my eyes
and said,
“I know that you are
R. D. Laing in disguise!”

I was caught a little
off guard
but got my wits back
in time
to tell Judy
that I was not
R. D. Laing.

I knew
and Judy knew
that she
was just pulling my leg!
