Don't Quit Your Day Job

I've jumped 20 feet in the air,
over fences, through yards,
and past streets corners.I've battled aliens in academic buildings floating down
pollutted rivers,
fleeing from terrorists.

I've escaped the imprisonment of
a powerful sorcerer who lives
down the hall, soaring away
on wings of prism light.
 
I've corralled 50 house cats
all equal in appearance
all in equal in want of my
attention.

But then Night punches
his time card for the
last time, and heads
home to rest.

Day takes his place, ushering
 gypsie dreams
from the steps of my pillow.

I have relived the same day
five times,

 



I have saved the world 10 times,
died 20
 but only during Time's
night shift.
