Mother's Boy
The hot water plays on Marion Crane
Absolving her of sins
Bad choices swirling down the drain
And a cleaner life begins
Norman joins her in the stall
And gives her all he's got
Can't hear his fucking mother call
Just let the harpy rot.....

Re: Re. Mother's Boy
This goes in a somewhat different direction than "Psycho." Norman defies his mother and gives Marion "all he's got," which is something other than a blade if you catch my drift. Marion is in a moral dilemma after becoming a fugitive and Norman, of course, has mom issues. It turns out they can help each other. This is probably a real stretch and I can sense Hitchcock spinning in his grave. I like your observation about the infamous shower murder. The knife is never shown to touch Janet Leigh's body, amazingly enough. The terror is generated through Hitchcock's camera angles, the skilled editing and that shrieking sound of a bird of prey on the soundtrack. Thanks so much for the sweet comment and list inclusion Jen!

I hope I didn't offend you Howlings. I have a sick sense of humor but try not to traumatize. At least nobody can ever accuse me of good taste....

My above reply might still apply, but I still need to clarify. The "all he's got" might well be too vague in this context. Bates is hard to recognize without his blade. Thanks Howlings!

Loved the first line! Someone (I forget who) defined a poet as someone who says something that may have been said before, but they will say in a totally new manner. I think you do that with this poem. Well done.
