Excellent!! Perfect choice of imagery, Mr. May, to bust down all the pre-conceived notions, dogma & bullshit draped over our heroes. Like Jesus, who, raised atop a pedastel, becomes unreachable - something unobtainable - brought back to Earth where he belongs, he regains his value as a hero & something to aspire towards. Can't say enough about this poem. It's absolutely brilliant!!
i like the picture this paints.
ReplyDeleteI find myself romanticizing Chris McCandless's story; but I sure do admire him for taking his grand adventure. I just wish he hadn't died.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great image. I love stuff that challenges myths, drags the past kicking and screaming into the present. This poem does the lot.
ReplyDeletecool.
