A Poem for the Supermen

Are Hannibal’s legions at
the gates? So you
can’t see the white
of their eyes, but
they can see the icon 
on your chest and
your garish cape.
Can x-ray eyes
see through the 
propaganda that
sells you your air? How 
long can you play
Che Guevara, doing hit
and run attacks 
in your mind? Will you
be so super if
a Hannibal washed the 
movie make-up off 
your James Dean face.
