I was always
A Batman kind of kid,
Grateful for having a mother
And working out the
Endless beatings to be him,
But I liked the other guy
The sense of how when the world
Needed saving
He was all
‘I’m here to help.’
And there’s people who’d
Say I’m a villain,
But I liked the idea
Of goodness and strength
Sleeping in the same bed,
I’ve tried
I have,
Not always succeeded,
But if we make our own
Gods and monsters,
There’s something to be said
For making them float
From the sky
Offer a hand
And say
‘I’m here to help.’
