New Superpowers Poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

New Superpowers



The sleeping giant
We unthinkingly awoke
Is a dragon
Seeks nourishment in Africa
Too late to slay it now.


The omnivorous
Treated as a dancing bear
Has the sharpest claw
Doesn’t care for intruders
Bellicose roars at prowlers.


Curried red saffron
Delightful mystery land
Temples and doctors
Snakes slither in grass though
Lethal if you are barefoot.
