Cuchillo hombre!
He had adopted the name Zorro.
His apartment was all bright plastic chairs,
framed holy pictures, and crossed
ornamental swords.
There were bull fight swords in
leather scabbards crossed beneath
the bleeding heart of Jesus, and
other mail order swords
on the walls with some machetes.
There were sabers, a cutless, a scimitar,
and two souvenir rapiers from Teledo.
They were next to several pictures
of the Blessed Mother,
St Joseph, and other different saints.
One picture was of St Sebastian pierced
with arrows.
Zorro had a clipped Ronald Coleman moustache
and outstanding pointed and trimmed
sideburns.
In his own mind he thought of himself as
very macho,
a cuchillo hombre!
