I must confess that a while ago, I wanted to be a superhero, you know, to blaze like a thousand suns and shout hello, I’m here. Yes, you're right, it was a bit pathetic, really, but you see,  I was afraid of being just another speck in the swarm of time, swallowed up and insignificant. So now I’ve changed, and I just want to say hello,  I love you. Love is incredibly more incandescent, iridescent and resplendent than all that hero stuff and blind ambition and all that exhibitionism. Maybe my spandex suit was too tight in the crotch, or whatever, but so what, I now don't feel the need to be a superhero at all. Yeah, so all of those old galaxies can spin around and glow in the dark and wheel through time as much as they like, because I’m doing just fine now, simply being me, right here. And anyway, love is much more fun because love is when you don't have to wear your underpants on the outside, like all those superheroes. Actually, and this is very logical, because when you're a lover, you don't have to wear any underpants at all. Mike T Minehan
