Here, all
the soldiers wear flowered jumpers and have their hair in braids.
They are
armed only with squirt guns and Stretch Armstrong souls that can bend
1000 ways
and never come apart – they can be permanently distorted, maybe;
stretched
beyond recognition, yes – but they never break.
You can set
the world on their shoulders like a boulder,
and they
will not shrug.
When you
knock them over, they simply shift the load
and begin to
climb again.

AWESOME.
ReplyDeleteReally? Thanks! I wasn't sure about it; I thought maybe it was too short. Do the pop culture references interfere too much with the Greek myth references?
