power in poetry

If your superpower is failure,
all you gotta do is jump and fail to land
suddenly you’re flying.

If your superpower is failure,
all you gotta do is try to not save the day
suddenly you’ve saved the day.

If your superpower is failure,
all you gotta do is try to fail
suddenly the world is yours if you want it.

Not that there are superpowers, of course
but it’s fun to do the math.
