Spiderman
that’s why we like him
he wasn’t sitting around wishing he could fly
nor did he have the means of a secret billionaire
he was smart
very smart
some called him a smart ass
but he knew more whom were smarter
most of all
he was clever
he had doubts and insecurities
was self-conscious a time or two
If he was real
he’d laugh because it would make sense
he would be the one whose movies all sucked (except for James Franco)
Haters to the right of him
Haters to the left of him
stronger
faster
vastly more intelligent
leaders of the criminal world
the police
the media
I did mention that he was clever
We like him because he is like us
he may not have been extravagantly or exceptionally
special
but he was enough
more than enough
He was himself
fully and completely
flawed capabilities
functional disabilities
he made it work
