Lois Lane In Love
He’s always diving out an open window
waving goodbye,
but when he does find time for a quick
kiss, a surge of energy floods
my nerves. It's like a power surge
after an outage,
every suburb in my body
lighting up. All night as he circles
the planet, saving Paris, New Delhi,
Minneapolis, I lie on my bed,
adrift in dreams, a cruise ship
on a dark sea, its portals
brightly lit

and suddenly he's diving out
an open window, waving g'bye.
When he does find time for a quick
kiss, a surge of energy floods
my nerves. It's like a power outage
and suddenly the power grid is online
again, every suburb in my body
lighting up. All night as he circles
the planet, saving Paris, New Delhi,
Minneapolis, I lie on my bed,
adrift in dreams, a cruise ship
on a dark sea, its portals
brightly lit
