A Fine Behind

                   I was
     twenty-two for
     most of my adult
     life.

           —Robert Glück

look at this superhero
slogging over the city’s
rooftops. who? me and
my aching joints (on cue,

off goes the flood warning
alarm from the national
weather service—in the
middle of my therapy

session)! “what’s your
supername?” eyes like
x-ray vision boring into
a beautiful backside,

only to have it do a
u-turn. “oh,” how
embarrassing, “did
i say that out loud?”
