Incidental poetry -- Kryptonite the Color of Money by Al Black Cindi Boiter August 14, 2023 Kryptonite the Color of Moneyby Al Black What if Superman was just strongNot super humble and brainy? What if he became a bully, drunk with powerAnd believed he was ordained to rule? What if he became a politician, a spy for Putin,A money launderer for Russian oligarchs? What if he didn’t have a cute black curl on his foreheadAnd wore a dead orange squirrel for a toupee? What if he date raped Lois Laneand forced himself on women, again and again and again? What if he didn’t believe TruthJustice and the American Way applied to him? What if despite all this, folks still bought his comic booksAnd believed he was ordained to rule?(Al Black, 08/12/23)
