I have been reunited with my "Old Fiends": Pepper, Butter and Dusty. They are fine, although ill-served by me, if I claim to be the individual who will chronicle their exploits! A "how to" guide for writing a biography begins:
- Start by doing research on your subject.
- Choose someone that flat-out fascinates you.
- You're going to be "living" with this person for a long time, so choose carefully.
Biographies analyze and interpret the events in a person's life. They try to find connections, explain the meaning of unexpected actions or mysteries, and make arguments about the significance of the person's accomplishments or life activities. Pepper seems to be indicating that that many "mysteries" and "accomplishments" have been missed! I have work to do.
- "Old friends, old friends,
- Sat on their parkbench like bookends
- A newspaper blown through the grass
- Falls on the round toes
of the high shoes of the old friends
- Old friends, winter companions, the old men
- Lost in their overcoats, waiting for the sunset
- The sounds of the city sifting through trees
- Settle like dust on the shoulders of the old friends
- Can you imagine us years from today,
- Sharing a parkbench quietly
- How terribly strange to be seventy
- Old friends, memory brushes the same years,
- Silently sharing the same fears
The creature, called Swamp Thing, was originally conceived as Alec Holland mutating into a vegetable-like creature, a "muck-encrusted mockery of a man". However, under writer Alan Moore, Swamp Thing was reinvented as an elemental entity created upon the death of Alec Holland, with Holland's memory and personality intact. He is described as "a plant that thought it was Alec Holland, a plant that was trying its level best to be Alec Holland."
