Full of himself flaunting
his black leather jacket
covered with silver studs.
his black leather jacket
covered with silver studs.
Bling hangs from his bulging neck.
Flashy zircons, cheap cologne,
tattoos, piercings, purple hair.

Lugging a bag of tricks loaded
with brass knuckles, chains,
zip guns, switchblade knives.
with brass knuckles, chains,
zip guns, switchblade knives.
His hands move like claws
through shadows with
crooked nails buffed blue.
through shadows with
crooked nails buffed blue.
Opening his cavern mouth,
smacking wide lips, the knave
drains cocktails of ruby red blood.
