Up Into the Blue

Every single morning
I shake off the night before
While Evil with no warning
Makes today another chore
I put my boots and my cape on
With precision, place my mask
Only hoping, not just willing, to be able for the task
I take a sip of my wife's coffee
And a mighty bite of toast
Then kiss my wife and children 
'Cause it's them I love the most
Then I stand upon the porch, the way I always do
And run ,and leap, and disappear, up into the blue
