Blue Notebook No. 2 by Daniil Kharms

 

Once there was a redheaded man without eyes and without ears. He had no hair either, so that he was a redhead was just something they said. 

He could not speak, for he had no mouth. He had no nose either. 

He didn’t even have arms or legs. He had no stomach either, and he had no back, and he had no spine, and no intestines of any kind. He didn’t have anything at all. So it is hard to understand whom we are really talking about. 

So it is probably best not to talk about him any more.
