Psycho IV


PSYCHO IV


“I masturbated.  In fantasies,
my adolescent form was
replaced by Janet Leigh's
from Psycho"—Scott Heim
The Death of Anthony Perkins
________________

Stuffed owls creep—
Up and down the old
Ratty-carpet stairs

Mother smells—
Something cheesy in
The motel down below
_______________

Stuffed swallows blink—
Norman smiles as he
Unlocks Gavin’s door

Gavin’s taking a—
Nice hot shower
It’ll be his last one
_________________

The shower curtain—
Slides back and what
Does Norman see?

It’s handsome Gavin—
Beating off and starting
To fuckin cum
_______________

He’s got soap in—
His eyes & can’t see
The big butcher knife

Besides his eyes—
Are closed as he
Shoots out his brains
_____________________

Norman’s heart—
Pitter-patters away
Gavin’s going spaz

Then comes the—
First stab deep into
Gavin’s flexed ass
_________________

A floorboard snaps—
Like a backbone up
There in the mansion

An antique banister—
Creaks with sharp pain
As Gavin screams
_____________

With each fatal stab—
John Gavin falls to his
Knees in the shower

Ending up with his—
Eyeball gazing down
Into the swirling drain
__________

Tony plays the role—
Transvestite Murderer
So very perfectly

Taking his time—
Taxidermy for Gavin
The hot young Toughie
