Click on image to the left to read some poems from the novel, the first purportedly written by the hero's absconding father (now running a large animal testing laboratory in Boston) Charlie Reece, when he was younger (3 are loose variations on poems by Baudelaire) the others written by Johnny himself, whilst in love with a Mexican thespian and student of Computing called Carlos Herrada. The letter at the end is just an attempt to give a functioning context, in the absence of the framing chapters. There are more poems, but they develop out of the surrounding prose, so hard to extract..!
