poem

Superpowers

Given a choice of superpowers
I would opt for teleportation:
To be way the hell over there,
Time warp tripping,
Snap my fingers, someplace else,
The realm of pure imagination.
No reason, no rhyme,
Beyond the bounds of space or time,
Limited only by the whims of desire.

But all superheroes have a weakness.
My particular Kryptonite
Would be a humble acceptance,
A nostalgia for the known and near,
A sense that everything I needed
Was always just 
Right
Here.

I am a fellow physician and author, and I have to tell you that your words--and all of them for years now--have spoken to me. This poem is exactly what I feel right now. Thank you for letting them see us.
