Ultra People

I’m not an action figure

Never was

Don’t need the cape

Like Superman

Or the long coat

Of Doctor Who

Don’t need a phonebooth

To the stars

Unless I really, simply want

To explore

x

Don’t have powers

Death rays from the eyes

And such

Don’t need to fly

Without an airplane

Or balloon

(though I really, really wish I could)

Don’t need to have

My brain increased

Extra organs

Added

Preternatural strength for

Fighting vampires or

Solving the universe

x

I am me

You are you

Without the uniforms

Or leagues

We’re still okay

Viable for God

And planet Earth

Look Up in the Sky

Look Up in the Sky

 

Skinny jeans

Yoga pants

A fascination with boots

Tight clothes on both genders

All we’d need are capes:

Are we trying to dress like

Superheroes?

 

Is there a signal

Or a red Bat-phone

To call us to our lair,

Prepare certain formulas

Then out into the world to

Save the day?

 

Is our wish

For a fortress, where

Alone or with a protégé

We might know ourselves,

Learn our power,

Understand the Earth

And all its forces

Marshalled to our strength?

 

We want superpowers,

Don’t we?

Of course, we do

And why not

 

Telepathy could solve so

Many problems

And who wouldn’t want to go

Through the day without

Some invulnerability?

 

Our children

Our cars

All the machines we have in life

Everything turned toward

Fighting evil

Promoting justice,

Let all be good

 

All we need are capes

And some of us have these
