“to be invisible”
is what I said when they asked at the party 
“what’s a superpower you wish you had?”

they reacted with no reaction
though my volume was at a good level
and the answer was clear

maybe I was at the wrong party
maybe I was already super

Bonjour ! I’ll continue to write about my favorite French-inspired things, as well as books, chocolate, music, movies, and postcards, but to change things up a bit, I will also share a 50-word poem each day in the month of January!

These micro-poems are based on personal observations, pesky intrusive thoughts, and general anxiety about getting older.

Tell me in the comments: If you could have any superpower, what would it be?

Thanks for reading!

This poem is from my poem-a-day series (January 2024).
