I Used to be Superman

I used to be superman

But I lost my costume

Ten years ago, to some

Superhero girlfriend

We soared together between

Rectangular Stalagmites

I held her head 

And we kissed on

Steady ground with

An American flag backdrop

I used to be superman

But my mom found it worn

In the laundry

She ripped it up

Turned it into a rag

I used to be superman
