where is superman

what does superman do when no one needs him
who is superman when he isn’t with us
where is superman when he isn’t here

does superman always have heat vision and only plays it cool
if he sees more colours than us what colours are we
when superman sees us, are we brighter, or do we lack density

do we appear transparent because superman’s X ray vision is always on
if superman’s nearby and uses his superpowers do we experience side effects
when superman walks with us, is he actually flying really low

if superman hears sounds from far away as well as nearby
do we sound loud or quiet, closer or further away
does he hear less or more, or more or less when we are in his presence

if we dream of flying are we like superman or just pretending
when we wish to be invulnerable is superman an object lesson
we don’t understand the consequences of what we want

when superman thinks faster better smarter than us
are we more or less like him; can we really comprehend
who superman is when we meet him, know if he is not there

Mom on deck

Call for Mom.
She’s needed on deck;
no one else will do.
Who could possibly replace her?
Santa Claus or God?

Paleocene had a light tawny appearance and a semi sweet palate.
Eocene was the name of donkey in a play by Sophocles that became an eponym for stink.

silver

some people say
black is the colour of chic

ode to D. H. Lawrence

this evening, my neighbour’s red brick chimney,
lit by the dying sun, glows brilliant carmine
against a pure black blue sky that penetrates my blood
and fills me with insensate ecstasy

the perfection of spring

the moment before the rain
after the garden has been planted
while children play, the air riven
with silver laughter, let them be
soon it will rain

the frequency of spring

the frequency of spring
tunes in on any radio, any
electro-static device including
the nerve network of all operating
bio-chemical self aware systems
