SUPERHERO CAMP

A couple of marines jogged by,
One of them swinging a lantern, a red head.
I crouched behind the station wagon
And watched as they decided

To see if anyone was here.
I stayed out of it. Then you came home
And didn't notice, and I had to swoop in
Just as their knives cleared their throats.

The papers made a fuss and suddenly
I'm at Superhero Camp. My thing
Stretching metal was hard to develop,
I was a bit of a klutz -- knocked over the DAT

Mr. Steam played Klaus Nomi from.
They were all so powerful, our contemporaries,
So curiously uninterested in using their powers,
Except breaking into the roof pool to watch water smoke.
