Notes About The Poem

The Left Fist of Khonshu

Marc Spectar is Moon Knight . . . 
            the traveler . . . the pathfinder . . . the defender
        protecting and avenging the innocent
      the son of a rabbi
            with D.I.D. 
(Dissociated Identity Disorder)

           ~he is actually a fictional Marvel Comic character, 
who worked as a mercenary, until he was mortally injured and died 
        in the shadow of Khonshu, the Egyptian god of the moon ~

      he was reborn . . .  The Left Fist of Khonshu
         to fight evil and defend all who travel at night
from vampires, from monsters and from super-assassins
Marc's alter ego Moon Knight does the fighting, 
         takes the punches, he is the one who spills the blood
   wearing a white armored costume, well, sometimes
 black and white, and sometimes all black 

~but they are not alone
          Marc has other alter egos, Steven Grant, billionaire businessman
Jake Lockley, the violent taxi driver, and Mr. Knight,
     the suited detective and police consultant, and many more egos ~ 

trauma in his childhood resulted in the D.I.D
        he hears the voices of his other identities
           has spent some time in a mental hospital
      sometimes, he chains himself to his bed at night
        and it has be suggested he has brain damage
      yet, he is a closed fist . . .  made weapon
                       he is "The Left Fist of Khonshu" protecting the innocent

           ~ fighting evil with strength, combat, technology,
detective work, tolerance for pain, willpower and experience
                 with the help of his alter egos who gather the intel
        he has died many times . . .  but has be resurrected each time ~

. . . he likes his vodka, ice cold, and has a girlfriend too 
                                     a pretty normal guy . . .  until Moon Knight
                      The Left Fist of Khonshu is needed . . .
