Hiya Kieren... A long time ago, when God or Bog was but a lad, you performed Whatever Happened To The Heroes at some night called Freed Up.

Time has passed and even though I've seen and talked with you a few times since then, I've never commented upon one particular aspect of this poem that blew my mind.

In fact, you could say that commenting upon it now is more than a little odd and awkward. Why haven't I commented? What prevented me? Surely that horse has not only bolted, but bolted some time ago straight to the Pedigree Chum factory and into the guts of several dogs to be shat out onto indifferent pavements?...

And you'd be right.

Anyway... Kurt Vonnegut is punk. Fuck me, that is an amazing idea. And of course he is! Very cool and very intertextual of you. Well done. I like it when a poem makes the reader go "of course".

Grand stuff.

Steve
