Wish

Sometimes he wishes
he was a hero
like Superman
and fly to the moon
in a few seconds
but he can't.



Other times he wishes
he was Spiderman
and climb up
a block of flats
quicker than the
naked eye can see
but he can't.



He's even on occasion
wished he could stretch
further than Mr. Fanastic
but he can't.


He can't.


He's me.


He's  Andy N.


I don't have
any special powers
nor any amazing ability.


I can't fly
through the clouds.

I can't climb up
buildings faster than a spider.

I can't bend
my arms
round three street corners
at once.

I'm just me.

And I'm more
of a hero
than any comic is.
