SUPER

clark  
didn't always want to change clothes  
in a phone booth  
bumping around in that hot little box  
didn't like wearing goddamn tights  
thought the cape was stupid  
craved kryptonite like some crave chocolate  
hated flying  
and was just goddamn sick of running every time some creepy asshole  
showed out  
and he remembered that time he flew counter clockwise  
so fast he turned back time  
and he just wished he could've kept flying,  
kept turning it back  
until he was back on the planet Krypton  
gazing up at his mama -- his real mama --  
and was just plain old clark  
or whatever the fuck his name was back then  
and his mama was stroking his ordinary baby hair  
and him just being there, nestled in her arms  
was enough to please her  
and...well... just  
goddamn
