Just thoughts, you may need it. I'm just wondering if the poem can show me something else in place of those lines.

I do like the idea of incorporating this character in other poems. It would have a Tarantino sort of feel to it. Or you could do a Nick Flynn cartoon physics part I, part II thing. Give something funny and then shift to poignant after the author edits.

Oh and "one" makes fist work for me--not that it matters what works for me.
Actually, I was thinking I'd have him cameo in a novel or two, poems maybe as well.

And I think, for now, I'm keeping S3, but I'll consider reworking it soon so that it offers more content. I like the metajoke though.
