It IS part of a novel, and a great rambling unpublishable one called Missing Pages From More Popular Narratives, as are the recent handjob one and the other war poem that's still on here. Jesus is a recurring character. So are Holden Caufield and Hatch Cunnilingus (narrator of the handjob poem), Allen Ginsberg, the ghost of Thomas Jefferson, a man who teaches US History to moderately mentally retarded third-graders, the Hardy Boys (narrators of the other war poem), Superman, Lois Lane, and Lex Luther, Hernan Cortes and his great^25-granddaughter Alma, an intensely stupid woman who is tricked into becoming a prostitute after being lost for 2 weeks on the Greyhound Bus system. Being unpublishable for all the reasons you can imagine, I've considered converting it all to (nominal) poetry and trying to sell it that way.
