OF STAN LEE AND
PEPPER WALTER
They were carrying their wallpaper home like
gendarmes on parade - comic book characters
frozen in time. Nettlesome voyagers, glue-paper
fiends, superheroes now stuck outside of time and
thus powerless now forever. Past doorways and
garage sheds, past all those tank tops, all those tits,
along the city's streets and alleys in this Summer heat,
past windows of dawn and afternoon and evening too.
It was a gracious pronouncement by a humorous God :
a Being of salvage, a Maker of many things. Stan Lee
and Pepper Walter, forever together, walking by.
