What does it mean if every night for a week
you dream that you are Batgirl
flying around the roofs of malls with Batman and Robin
and you can’t decide which one you like best
It would have to be Batman, really
because he gets more respect
But then again, just how old is he under that mask
if the series is into reruns?
You flit between the two of them
admiring the legs,
wondering if Batman wears a corset
and asking yourself if you should be wary of a man who still lives in a cave
And what about sex?
When it was over, would he just leave you hanging
upside down?
