Gotham Night DriveA Poem by Cyprian Van DykeI Am BatmanBright blue gauges in the batmobile Shine on me as I sit behind the wheel. . Brighter blues map these rainy streets. I drive thru this lit Gotham city night Like a Robocop on his beat. . The Batman sign on my chest I see thru the windshield, In the sky, at the end of A ray of hope in the night. . Alfred in my ear, Catwoman on my mind And in my inner ear, she speaks refined. . I turn the wheel and hit the turbo. The rain turns horizontal onto the windshield. I eject up to the buildings and over, and as I glide I spot Catwoman sitting in front of the Joker tied. . Rolling onto the scene, rolling onto my feet, Throwing the Batarang I cut her free As I swing my cape over the Joker's eyes So that he can not see. After this sly dance-move like feat I take Catwoman in my arms and flee, Grappling over buildings until we're back On these rainy Gotham city lit streets. . She looks into my eyes thru my mask And thru my mind into the past And recalls the love we had and says, "I love that I can always count on you, Bat." And walks away sexy and black. . I call the batmobile back to me. I jump down into the only seat, Behind the steering wheel. Alfred asks me; "Was that Selina Kyle?" I answer: "Indeed." . Every head turns, they see the Batmobile. They see Batman in the driver's seat, that's me. There's more than what meets the eye, But that's something only she can see. Jan 9, 2021 © 2021 Cyprian Van DykeAuthor's Note
