Let’s Talk About Heroes
Let’s talk about Heroes
and all the exciting events from last night’s episode
Let’s really get into it
raising our voices
and gesturing with our arms for emphasis
Let’s review all the powers
that each of them has
and think about which ones we’d like
although we’ll be enthusiastic about it
our decisions will be grounded in logic
Let’s mention the Asian guy
and the cheerleader
and the one who’s going to be in that movie
and the one that can fly
(one of them can fly, right?)
Let’s talk about how I’ve never really seen the show so I’ve got a lot of catching up to do Let’s have green tea and onion bagels for hours on end while you tell me all the things that I’ve missed

the disappearing light of day
i sat with a bagel
yesterday
and let it teach me
all it knew
every curve held a lesson each bit of onion contained a truth the top showed me things the bottom could not yet the bottom shared a wiser view
today i discovered these teachings were lost perhaps they were only a dream
in sadness and silence and solitude i ate it but honestly, it ate me too

The Golden One
My father always told me “Onion bagels grow on trees”
And so I spent my school-age years amassing expertise
So I could scour the continents and sail the seven seas
Searching for the only plant that would my soul appease
As time elapsed the hope I had was pushed aside by doubt For I’d found nothing even though I’d traveled all about And so I grabbed my father and irately I did shout He said “I meant to say they don’t – did I leave that word out?”

Digging a Tunnel
I’m digging a tunnel
From my heart to yours
To carve out this pathway
I’m fighting on all fours
Reminds me of digging That I did once before Through an onion bagel Inside the grocery store
I tore out one section Just to get it started Then dug with my finger Until the insides parted
Before long I had a Hollow bagel in my cart Too bad it’s much tougher For me to win your heart

Confession
I’m a churchgoing bagel, Heaven is my goal
I’m a God-fearing bagel, only He can save my soul
I’m a tolerating bagel, I won’t judge a jelly roll
I’m a virtue-laden bagel, which is something to extol
Yet I’m a weak-willed bagel when the Devil takes control and I can’t stop inserting objects in my onion hole

first, the bad news:
the dealer’s corpse was rotting at a quite alarming rate
i couldn’t get the bags of blow to all fit in their crate
on accident i handcuffed my own ankle to the grate
and my partner in a panic crashed our car right out the gate
the fire from the hill was now engulfing the estate
and the sirens in the distance signaled our impending date
i didn’t have much choice but to accept my destined fate
so i grabbed an onion bagel, said a prayer of thanks and ate

a bitter bagel to swallow
i wished sincerely
but i fell beneath the stars
i fought for freedom
but i wound up behind bars
i loved completely
but i never was loved back
i planted flowers
but the petals all turned black
i welcomed warmly
but they kicked me to the cold
i cheered the youth on
but they told me i was old
i steered steadfastly
but it only made me carsick
i ordered onion
but i ended up with garlic
