I Think Too Much Of Me
by P.A.Levy
if i was a closet frankenstein
i’d cross the buddha of suburbia
with a fast food junkie
to create a superhero of my own mutation
and with all things considered
in a cape i’ll look dynamite

not exactly being
the most energetic superhero
i will in time grow a bit
around the centre of me
into a smile-fest gold covered
sexy bling beast
with all the best rhymes
but inevitably

i will end up
making shapes to the wicked
sound of mantra bells
smoke aspidistra
from behind net curtains
sip lager out of a china tea cup
with a saucer
because let’s face it
who wants superbuddha’s
ability to scoff super sized pies
when superman can fly

i think i’ll become
the anti-superbuddha instead

anti-heroes care
even though they pretend not to
wait with ninja smiles in unlit recesses
to laugh in chinese
but carry subtitles in their pocket

so then or zen
i sold my cape on eBay
and everyday i wake up
buddha-less lacking insightful knowledge
and crispy bite sized sayings
tea-less and searching through a cough
for a diet karma cigarette
before i come to realise
i’m just a boring lazy arsed
fat bastard like everyone else
