She Called Me "Super Girl"

Her coffee in my hand, I arrive with ten  
minutes to spare, flown in so fast    
I had to rebrush my hair, before setting glasses    
upon my nose to disguise my face    
   
All she saw was a reliable cup of coffee    
and the paper with me on it, holding    
a plane, barely able to manage the first    
yet she declared me "Super Girl" without    
   
even looking up, as in, to really see me    
there, wondering at witnessing my own    
naming, unknown, yet present, familiar    
being now asked for my approbation    
   
Even though to her I am really nothing    
more than a cup of coffee, a snack run    
a green, ignorant, envious admirer    
if only she knew who I really was...
