Cook has created a manic blur of a speaker, a ghost of a
woman who sees herself in the assumed reflections of some common and somewhat
catastrophic objects. In "Head Twists" we see the first of
these reflections as being a "headless manikin." The speaker is
looking at herself in such an image, pondering if such a headless "manikin
might be more level headed than the current twisting me."
