Superheroes

A wave of night flows over me
I am shrouded in shadow
Encased in darkest black
Falling faster than
I can remember
And I start thinking
About my parents
And how I love them
And all that trivial shit
You never care about
When you're a kid
'cause you're too busy
Playing superheroes
Spiderman at breakfast
Batman at lunch
Superman at dinner
Then you wake up
And realise
Someone's spilled your pint.

  1. I'm confused about what this is about...

  2. I was at an open mic night, and someone spilled coke over the stuff I'd brought along to perform, leading to the slightly goth-y bit at the start, but then I thought... that'd be shit, so took the piss slightly.

    But I like the idea of the guy sitting in a pub, dreaming about what could have been suddenly being snapped back to reality, losing the pint as well as the dream.
