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."
