Clothes Make The Man
do amazing things -
swing between buildings
like a spare tire hung
on a sturdy oak branch,
stop bullets with the flat
of an open hand,
lift Cadillacs and Pullman cars,
catch meteors and stars,
outrun time,
but with great power
comes secresy and deceit
and the need for these disguises,
the necessity to tame
outlandish ability
with a limp or slouch,
an aloof savoir fair
draped in Armani,
or a pair of cracked
glasses,
to pretend that the mild,
mannered, mundane persona
isn’t the real mask.
