Steerco Boone
|
Steerforth Cody “Steerco” Boone was a visionary polymath who wrote epic poetry, did engravings, was all his life plagued by vivid, rapturous visions of mechanised future and who, in a fever dream, devised out of whole cloth a comprehensive schema for uniform measurement of legal obligations which he called his “metricks” and claimed would rid the commercial world forever of ambiguity and rancour.
He would leave his family for months at a time to pursue his ideas on long rambling walks in the Bavarian Alps. Boone senior was killed tragically when out walking in the Ostallgau one day, and chased off a cliff by a black swan.
