Black shoe button eyes
a face nibbled by termites
he looks right through you

Sailor suit and hat
fools you with stillness, he
moves behind your back

All the tourists come
to take a photo with him
might cost you your life

Broken bones, job loss
car accidents, divorce — all
post-visit mishaps

He is the real deal
Chucky was made after him
the mad, killer doll
