I don't
claim
to be
a superman
but I can
tell you
this,
my
kryptonite
is alcohol.

Just pour
me one
straight up
and watch my fall.

When
I die
I want
my spirit
to fly,
lock in on
my prey
from far,
far away.

Only rattling
bones
I can assume,

will be rattling
around
in my tomb.

Perhaps
it is better
to scatter my
ashes to the wind.

Because
really all
I will do
is just carry
my light in
to another room.

That's it,
I'll just
carry my light
in to another room.
