Survivor

Thanks for your thoughts.  Just to add clarity, it's an acrostic only because that was the 'assignment' on Leanne's forms, but it might be fun to take it out of form and work with this some more.

Limey . . . I may not have been able to flesh out the point as well as I'd have liked with the limitation of lines (I was conscious the point was probably wasn't made well enough when I finished it), but it's survivor because it's a message not about being a daredevil . . . but trying to feel alive in a commercial culture that stunts the soul, just as it tries to own the extreme sport culture.  I kind of liked the hint of duality of  "rubbers burned" (a little NASCAR, a little free-sex), but maybe it doesn't work that well when the meaning demands a cross-cultural use of words and a very liberal dose of symbol association.

Thanks for the thoughtful comments!
