poems about onion bagels

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
