He has six scars,
four are on his face
& strychnine
runs through his veins.

His yellow-tipped fingers,
all eight of them tell a story.
Of course it's a gory one,
but his idea of having fun
is skinning lizards
& making ear necklaces.

He's back in the world now,
but he figures he's safe,
'cause nobody,
I mean nobody,
not even his family,
can recognize him.
