How to spot a psychopath

http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2011/may/21/jon-ronson-how-to-spot-a-psychopath

In a sea of slovenly men with vacant eyes

I wear pin stripes

My steady, dark eyes

Calculate its effect

Why Broadmoor Psychiatric?

Attacked a homeless man

Kicked him until rage subsided

Into song

Faked lunacy to escape prison

Quoting Clockwork Orange, Blue Velvet,

Ted Bundy

Locked up for twelve years

Away from

Mother, with her gin tears,

Her endless stream boyfriends,

Needles and tie-offs.

Now my name is ‘psychopath’

How do the sane cross their legs?

Interact with the deranged?

Express remorse?
