Woman of Steel*
(Listening to Blaze feat Stephanie Cooke What Makes The World Go Round)
I woke up this morning to realize
There wasn’t going to be
Any
Woman of steel
Single bound
Leaping buildings to
Get to us,
(Relegating unreachable to the natural world:
A tiding of swallows; common ravens
Perching
In the cut rate pines
Of a languished spirit)
Rowing the muscles, then
Changing into this
Urban
(Not really but looks good on paper well I’m urban so that counts)
Stratosphere;
[High rise] (I’m not short, so)
Locality (There’s only 3 places I can be: Chicago, LA or NY) at least not to
Rescue or Redeem us from the
Fiends
Plaguing our inner accord:
Sanctimony of mind (imagine that strain)
Whether it be the
World or even worse;
Myself
But it’s generally the enablers
Who do the most amount of
Harm: attitude
And if you can capture: apprehend that
Bad guy
Then just maybe the problem
Is solved: and I
I
Became
Her.
