Loosely based on William Blakes painting, “The Ghost of a Flea.” Raised by survivalists, then religious grandparents in Mendocino county, and then was a bouncer on Broadway in San Francisco before becoming Ickey Jerusalem’s chauffeur and security guy. Sees only the concrete. Doesn’t believe in anything he can’t see, including God. Did not understand anything that the dead poet said to him, but proud he worked for him.
