A Brush With Greatness

And what is the point when greatness brushes us?
Is it to prove the common touch?
Or is it a desire to be above and have admirers?
I don't know.

A brush with mediocrity,
What can be the point?
To lower and to condescend?
To feel and be above!

Or can it be to pull and lift and wrench
until in imitation,
(from common clay),
the great are reproduced?

Ah Superman,
your love and hope for Lois I can see,
but why give that watch to Jimmy Olsen?
