Superpowers
The ability to warp minds.
The power to travel sideways in time.
Able to live other lives,
going planet to planet on a whim.
The powers of suggestion.
My superpower is the gift
of communicating with animals.
I command wildebeests and confer with birds.
I hear what they’re thinking.
They claim that they once ruled the Earth
and practiced the ways of love and influence.
And you, your greatest strengths
are a prolonged youth and a protracted dying.
And you, you’re just invisible to women.
