Secret Identity Poem by Larkin (Houston Asia Society)

Whenever I take off my mask

I have to put another one on

At least this one doesn’t mess up my hair

But it fogs up my glasses

And makes my face feel itchy

It’s been a while since my skin could breathe

Riddle me this:

All the money in the world

And I can’t put an end to this pandemic?

It’s making the Joker look like a clown!

That’ll wipe the smirk off his face

The virus is too small for me to punch

Kick

Beat Up

Looks like I’ve found my kryptonite

I hate it when they show off my symbol in the night sky

A simple text or call would be nice

They really expect me to drop all of my schoolwork and sports

Every single night!

I’ve saved so many lives

I haven’t experienced mine

I guess that’s what happens

When I’m the Dark Knight.
