Supineheroes

Superman

Perpetuating the myth
One person can save the world
The American Fantasy
Dream on

Superwoman

You too think you can compete
Pound for pound?
Why do you think women’s superpower
Is language?

Anger is an energy
That needs talking out
Love is all
You need

Catwoman

Put food in a bowl
Find a spot in the sun
Let her sleep
We’ve lives to lead

Batman

Benevolent aristocrat
Who might fight crime
More effectively
Through wealth redistribution

Spiderman

Life’s a complicated web
That takes time
To untangle
Don’t panic
