Ma went to town for groceries. I took our ladder,leaned it on the eave of the house,climbed up on the roof.
had my cape on
got to the top
of the roof
had to talk to Superman
(he flew up beside me)
I gotta' fly like you Superman
I know, he says.
I ask him, how do you like my cape?
(old sheet, red crayola crayon S on the back)
it's big enough, he says.
(Superman talks just like me)
you got any advice?
yeah, he says, take off is everthing
make sure you leap
I walk to the edge
look down
it sure is a long way down Superman
don't look down, william, he says
Will you fly with me? I ask
sure, he says
I take off runnin'
across the roof
leap
Superman is next to me
for a second
I hit the ground
hard
bite my lip through
(bleeds a lot)
feet hurt
don't know why
cape's dirty
chokes me
get up
climb back up
the ladder
Superman's
waitin' for me
sit down next to him
how come I didn't fly, Superman?
Superman ain't talkin'
Ma come home later
I got a whippin'
(Superman don't cry)
