The Guards move Tom's chair away from the heat of fire.
For fear of scorching their own uniforms.
But Tom is already sweating profusely anyway,
just from the sheer intimacy of their procedure.
It culminates with these strangers shaving round his groin.
As his body is systematically reduced to total hairless-ness,
Tom's anxiety scales new heights.
If he's not to be handed over to the Police, then what?

When it's all done and the trimmings tidied away,
They spray his body with bright green liquid.
It looks and smells like kitchen cleaner.
It feels cold and horrid on his sensitised skin at first.
Then it begins to sting him - all over his body.
