I’m not an action figure
Never was
Don’t need the cape
Like Superman
Or the long coat
Of Doctor Who
Don’t need a phonebooth
To the stars
Unless I really, simply want
To explore
x
Don’t have powers
Death rays from the eyes
And such
Don’t need to fly
Without an airplane
Or balloon
(though I really, really wish I could)
Don’t need to have
My brain increased
Extra organs
Added
Preternatural strength for
Fighting vampires or
Solving the universe
x
I am me
You are you
Without the uniforms
Or leagues
We’re still okay
Viable for God
And planet Earth

Love this. Among those who join my Ireland journeys for a day – authors, musicians, artists, storytellers, healers, archaeoastronomers – there is a knowing. No capes or cloaks or costumes. We are viable without the uniforms. We are all viable without the uniforms.

I’m thankful for your response. I’m delighted to have any knowing like the Irish. (Irish on my mother’s side by the way. She was a McAnally.)
