May 19/19: Annual Earnings

I forgive you for when the market crashed Being away allowed me to Move past the pitying faces that threatened To make me acknowledge what I’ve lost.

Analysts in hindsight drew a post-mortem forecast and explained With their charts, figures, and endless numbers How I was the only one that didn’t see it coming.

Roaring in my twenties, I was happy Spending madly, Without checking with you My loyal accountant Who lost it all and plunged us to ruin.

Jane and I now laugh When I bring home peppers without a plastic bag, At my small attempt to try and keep a planet, And we dance close to Paul Simon While you’re led out in handcuffs On the six o’clock news.

We live in the stories we tell ourselves. In a secular, scientific rational culture lacking in any convincing spiritual leadership, superhero stories speak loudly and boldly to our greatest fears, deepest longings, and highest aspirations. They’re not afraid to be hopeful, not embarrassed to be optimistic, and utterly fearless in the dark. They’re about as far from social realism as you can get, but the best superhero stories deal directly with mythic elements of human experience that we can all relate to, in ways that are imaginative, profound, funny, and provocative.
