Kevin’s Fantastic Powers
Kevin hides high in a tree by the lake,
watching as tourists walk by
A woman with binoculars yells
“Crazy Kid”, as she spots his
torn orange shirt.
He pretends that he’s invisible and
tightly holds his breath. His face
becomes a cardinal shade of red.
Kevin hides harder, extending his arms
so that they almost look like branches
The woman with binoculars scurries off
in a whirlwind of aged impatience
He shifts his weight to better see
a couple walking hand in hand
But it is late, his powers fade,
bringing him back down to earth.
