There’s an itch that Can’t be scratched That’s what you see on me Face pock-marked red (Legs worse with this skin curse A mottled battlefield) Dead patches picked at Skin flayed raw My admission: A compulsion… Work the edge with a Fingernail wedge REMOVE DEAD SKIN! Quick dry then dead again Itch, scritch, pull scab anew My dark avenue.

PICKY, PICKY, PICKY
There’s an itch that Can’t be scratched That’s what you see on me Face pock-marked red (Legs worse with this skin curse A mottled battlefield) Dead patches picked at Skin flayed raw My admission: A compulsion… Work the edge with a Fingernail wedge REMOVE DEAD SKIN! Quick dry then dead again Itch, scritch, pull scab anew My dark avenue.
