I saw him once
The man with no face
People called him The Green Man
His real name was Ray

No eyes or nose
lips and ears disfigured
left arm burned off at the elbow
upper torso scarred

You could find him walking
the highway on the outskirts of Wampum
Some mean boys thought it was funny
to get him drunk and throw him from a moving car

I saw him once, walking the lonely, dark road
His appearance so upset me, I had to take Pepto
I was only five years old
Dang! I still hate that pink stuff

True story
Eric,
I started thinking of this because I was told a person was coming to our small town to ask people about Ray Robinson because they were interested in making a movie about him...If you google Charlie No Face...You can see a picture of him.. ...Will make you happy to be you...He got electrocuted while climbing on a bridge looking into a bird's nest when he was 9 years old...the bridge was part of a defunct trolly line...someone forgot to turn off the current...That's what I live for ...to cheer you up...Kacee

I think what works well with this poem is that it's infused with so much of that child's gut reaction to what the adult knows is really a sad story... as usual you write about the macabre/ terrible/ strange happenings of every day life with flair... and you expose the worst in human nature so starkly... glad I dragged myself away from the couch to read this, Kacee, the best to you...

Oh My Goodness
WOW! I am at a loss for words. For sure. I really don't know what to say. At first, I thought it may have been a ghost. Well penned write. Keep up with the great work. Keep on penning. Thank you for sharing. *S* Cynthia
