Superhero VigilanteA Poem by Alexander EmbersonI owe the title of this to a Gawker commenter. Thank you, Texas lady.
You’re
a Superhero Vigilante!
Embrace your silver gilded six-shooters at your sides, glinting and glowing like your patinaed pride or a sun soaked glacier. Grin on in your self-inflicted incandescent authoritarian glory! We see you walking the streets, raising a furrowed brow to gasping mothers, and telling yourself the holsters you bought were the right choice for your… line of work. You did get your facts from mainstream media after all. Oh no! You’ve been cornered! They don’t understand, raise your guns! Feel your fingertips brush past those wood grain handles and pull those sleeping second amendments from their slumbers! After all, you did go before death with your soul. We know he weighed it against a feather, but tell me, how does the lead in your chest feel? That blood freckled grin was all we needed to know. © 2013 Alexander Emberson |
