Super Woman is Middle Aged Now
Super woman is middle aged now
Her headlights hang low; her back aches.
Her feet are as tired as the day is long.
Why do you still do it? Her friends ask.
Yes, she still leaps off of high buildings.
But it takes more than a single bound.
And she tries her best to save people
But the bad guys are faster now
Or she is slower.
She is not sure which.
It’s just not the same, she thinks
As she takes her soaking feet and teeth out of the water.
