In the year 2000 the world struggles to recover from the devastation wrought by World War lll. Though fears of global destruction proved unfounded, deep battle scars were raked across the Earth as superhuman titans clashed with little regard for borders and, far too often, even less regard for merely human innocents. Now, survivors of both groups face the daunting task of rebuilding their lives, sustaining a tenuous truce with one another and suppressing tense flare-ups from within. Into this world is thrust Erik, a young man who finds himself neither prepared for nor worthy of the role of hero in a time and place so far removed from his home. His newfound super-strength is at best a curiosity to him, less important that his newfound love of comic books and movies, and his long-standing love of women. In a world filled with real heroes, he feels his occasional foiling of street crimes in New York is so minor as to be beneath notice. The World Intelligence Agency, however, feels differently. When Erik receives their offer of employment, he soon finds himself facing challenges for which he never prepared, in a world too long bereft of justice.

These poems are funny little things. They don''t take themselves too seriously. They shave and shower and brush their teeth but totally disregard the anxieties that seem to plague their cousins. Somehow they fell immune. Sure they might not get straight A''s. And they sleep well beyond their alarm clocks, but they walk without shame or guilt or worry and go through this life happily, like the glad idiot who unwittingly makes the world envious of him; these poems shed light inside his life. They fall asleep when their heads hit the pillow and prefer the simile to metaphor. Thank you for reading. -- Note from the author.
