Superpowers

 

Superpowers

If I was perfectly bendy,

if I could bend myself into a wheel,

I would shake off these bones of mine

and go and live like a snake.

If I had a suit of armour,

if I could wear it like a skin,

I would let the world reflect off me.

If I could be intangible,

if everything passed right through me,

I would not be afraid of dark places.

If I stopped being afraid of this poem,

I would make it go into dark rooms,

so that I don’t have to.

So that I can go to the desert,

so that I can bend myself into a wheel there

and watch the world 

upside-down.
