I reckon it's about a comic book character and how at the start they are getting trained and then they are engaging in beaucoup adventures and they come back from the dead... alot. I loved: "Try a little acupuncture on the latexed virago probing my boy for info." I would question the exclamation after "away". I just can't get away from the feeling that exclamation marks are somehow self-congratulatory. Nice one Brighteyes! Joe

Or to quote the lady herself, the poem's about: "Shuriken looking back on her time with superhero group The Flying Deviants."

Cheers spack! Yeah - it's a comic book hero's past. As for el question mark, I just wanted to try and get that "HUP!" thing, of when you whizz skyward. I'm fond of it, and unfortunately rather fond of exclamation marks in general (spack war imminent?). I think it fits with the comic book genre as punctuation goes. Cheers guys! K x "I have a room for life at the Home for the Chronically Groovy."

I'm kinda fond of the exclamation marks myself. Is there any room in your home for the groovies?

They just seem so melodramatic! ArrrgggghHH!!!! Although I agree that they do fit in with the comic book thang. So that ought to delay the Spack war. one two three four I declare a spack war....

My weapon of choice? The larch! "I have a room for life at the Home for the Chronically Groovy."

It's the best thing that I have ever read. Since I don't really read that much, this tends toward the direction of a "good thing". In fact, almost too afraid to read anything else from this set, in case I suffer another sudden reversal of topography. rick x
