Sonnets From Other Lives:  Victor

Victor stands alone atop the roof,
& scans the cul-de-sac, alert for danger.
He is invincible!  He's bullet proof!
Our hero spots a running hooded stranger.
It's only Joey's mom out for a jog.
She'll be safe.  Victor's got her back.
He'll watch her just in case the Barker's dog
transforms into a werewolf & attacks.
Oh but if he showed those bullies all his powers
they'd run away whenever he came near.
That stupid Jimmy Callahan would cower
in his presence & he'd  pee himself with fear!
He should just go & pulverize those creeps!
No time like now.  He spreads his cape & leaps.
