Superman Grounded
Feb 2, 2023
Where were wings
when you were
young &
demanding to fly
under your own
steam ?
How dare this
body be grounded
flight limited
to imagination?
You raged in disbelief
set off to market
with your mum
a Superman
caped & protected
from the sad
realities of this
earthen rock —
yet you were
not wrong for
memory remains
of another dimension
where you flew with
gods & thought
takes you
any place you want
& parents are left
to devices of their own.
