Some friend tried to introduce me to Superman the other night

The next day I saw him on a bluff

He was friendly enough

It was dawn after all

I walked on

Trying to not fall

Over my jaw.

Mornings bring strange meetings.

One tries to carry on joy

Throughout the day

But

Dangers are everywhere

Even at the bakery

Beware!

Slow down

Stop running stop signs

Seriously

It’s a symptom

Of something larger,

Scarier,

And

Permanent.

Even Superman meditates

He knows cryptonite

Comes

In

Many

Forms.

Stop running stop signs.

Must you be reminded it’s the journey

Not the destination?

I’m embarrassed to have to remind you.

Superman knows.

I know.

You know too.
