Agitprop
              sticks
                        in my teeth too,
and I'd rather
                    compose
                                   romances for you –
more profit in it
                      and more charm.
But I
          subdued
                         myself,
                                    setting my heel
on the throat
                    of my own song.

 
Vladimir Mayakovsky

That name, 'Manos de Piedra', is true, Hands of Stone. Every punch, and I'm not exaggerating, every punch that he hit me with, from the body to the head, felt like bricks, stone, rocks. He knocked my teeth back. My front, my first 3 or 4 teeth, he knocked them back because he was just so possessed. He was a demon.
