Kent.

You have a thing for heroes
Achilles and Hercules,
flashy swords and light feet.
You're all about short speeches
quick quips and battle cries
For Narnia, or Rome.
You like the mystery
of the mask and cape
so Captain America.
You're into tragedy
the great sacrifice, the bait
the battle of Thermopylae.

So what about the
milk-skinned, mild-mannered man
the alter ego without the alter
(but also not the ego)
Because I'm dying here
with nothing quick to say,
no game to play
and no mask to save the day...
just me.
I have a thing for heroines.
