basically I am just
your average superhero
when the stars align
and the aces come
and the bob-tailed nag takes first
I have had my square-inches
of spot-light
and I have had
my telephone booth moments
so when fate sees fit
on occasion
to tear my wings
in mid-flight
I hold the scowl
drink the whiskey raw
because if everybody flew
the skies would be too crowded.
