David Byrne Poet Sonnet

Hi, I'M Batman

Words dissolved like crystals on my tongue
Moisture filled my mouth, my jaws converged
City lights shimmered in the distance
Wings bashed the air, passed the yellow Moon,
Our footsteps slowly fell into synch 
And I wondered, what about your smile?
Busy bees were buzzing in my head
Inspiration came to me like fire!
“Hi, I’m Bat Man “I said, “Here for you!”
“Superhero number one”, you smiled!
I stretched my imaginary cape
Laid it at your feet, “Madame” I cried!

That’s how I imagined we could be-
Me so gallant and you so carefree-

Poet Destroyer A March 22, 2011 at 4:54 PM I love it David.. an awesome picture painted to the last drop of crystals on my taste buds.. I like that I can taste it as much as place an image with it... shivers me bone.. to know Gotham, has an eagle eye over it.. or should I say bats eye. Lurking a hero in the dark... enjoyed and take care...p.d.
