Desire for a Comic Book

In this day and age
Of superheroes taking the stage
Flying across the screen
Making us feel like we're fifteen

That's swell and all
Seeing our heroes in a brawl
Fighting to save us
From a villain so monstrous

But don't think we need
Nor will we stampede
To blockbusters and a trilogy
For us to experience an epiphany

It may seem so great and fine
To see our heroes shine
But we find ourselves with a dream
However ironic it may seem

Not on screen or Internet
That's not where we met
Of our heroes we got our first look
On the pages of a comic book

Just once in a while
It would give the greatest smile
To run to the comic stands
And hold our hero in our hands
