SUPERHERO
Some days you build a castle
out of the dough you had ready for dinner
and plant action figures in it,
where you are the superhero,
the others are mere antiheros —
not even supervillains;
and you love how you defeat them
as they collapse with a single blow
of your mighty finger.
But then you're left with no bread for dinner.
So you decide on skipping the meal,
put a bag of seeds in the microwave
and wait for it to crackle and pop.
