Found Poem 1
A Polish Man
24 August 2010
A Polish man
living in Germany
spent five years with a bullet
in the back of his head
having forgotten
he was shot
because he was drunk
when it happened.
Police
in the western city
of Bochum
said doctors had found
a .22-calibre round
after the 35-year-old
asked them to remove
what he thought
was a cyst.
They said
the man recalled
receiving a blow to the head
around midnight
at a New Year's Eve party
"in 2004 or 2005".
It is thought
it might have been
a stray bullet
fired in celebration.
"It may have been
a shot fired up in the air
which entered his head
on the way down,"
a police spokesman told reporters
on Tuesday.
"He told us
he remembered having
a sore head,
but that he wasn't really one
for going to the doctor."
The man,
who has lived in Germany
for several years,
is expected to be released
from hospital later this week.
The bullet,
which was lodged
in his scalp and did
not penetrate his skull,
was removed on Friday.
