i’m a superhero
i can fly
standing in a house with hardwood floors
it starts to rain
except it’s not rain
the drops of water are rippling the floor
tiny zings
superman thinks the bad guys are coming

i take my handheld device that lets me fly
in left hand, zoom out the window
as the rumbling continues and grows louder
zooming over the landscape trying to catch the tornadoes
they’ll carry me to safety i know it
tornadoes always out of reach

i look behind and the house has gone
nuclear explosion has started and is reaching out to me
desparately trying to catch a tornado
but my device is not helping me go faster

zooming through a village now
the buildings are low but still a hindrance
flying in between not over them
i wonder why

the nuclear cloud is getting closer
it will get me
oh no

i reach a plain
a city plain
deserted except for a car and a tornado that stands still
got to reach it
it’s my safety

get to the car and the tornado is 4ft tall
like taz from looney tunes
plastic toy rotating like a tornado
oops i’ve been tricked
guy in the car is on my side though
yay

out of the blue
a guy in black
appears from behind
with a gun
shoots the good guy that stepped out of the car
he was defenseless
they’re aliens
guy in black, new one out of the car
they’re closing in…

part 1 all over again
as if i could make changes
it’s all the same

when the guy gets shot
realized i had done this before
regret that i didn’t warn him
to get his gun from inside the car
to protect himself

but the aliens are different
the guy in black was taken down
the guy in the backseat of the car is on my side
able to warn him about the alien that was going to assume
his identity
yay

superheroes go to a nearby inn
my friends from looney tunes
are the superheroes
they do silly antics
making us laugh…

colours are like sepia
brown and muddy
sky is gray
overcast
may have been raining
road is muddy
everything flooded

with kurt and his dad
kurt’s mum told us the car can’t fit
it’s too flooded
didn’t explain further
she left for the flooded place
where the others are

his dad behind the wheel
refuses to get left behind
we drive down the dirt road
kinda looks like falcon lake’s road

getting to the flooded place
wow it’s flooded
to our left
mounds of dirt are like islands
where the others are sitting on top and chatting
kurt’s mom and sister are there
just beyond the gated wall that encloses
the flooded place
if the car tried to go there
the water would be over our heads

we continue down the dirt road
bob has a plan
gotta turn the car around

we get to the end of the road
cannot continue
brown muddy flooded lake to the left
green marsh to the right
where to turn

instead we zoom
like maniacs
in the car backwards
to the flooded place
