"What would your superpower be?“

One morning,
while sitting crossed legged,
on second floor carpeted space.
I said
"I want to eat all the plastic  
and turn it to fresh energy.  
That would be my superpower."
And you said,
"I'd like to never die."
and he said
"I'd like to shoot electric fire beams,"
and another wanted gills,
and one wanted to control air,
and one wanted to be able to fly in it,
and one said their only power
would maybe be to be green
or perhaps to be invisible all together.  
She and I smiled at each other,
the circle was reasonably well held
and for a moment  
the only importance
was giving each person a voice.
