hero zero hello zorro

i once
took out a piece of a bubble
without the rest of it popping
does that make me miraculous?
or
if i told you i could speak without words
or without a mouth even--
i just stare verbs and blink nouns and squint adjectives
would that make me super?
like
i could heal you
take your pain through my ears
attentive antibiotic that is to listen
could that make me holy?
but
when i float 
like a drive with the windows cracked 
no concern for where or when
just now
that makes me infinite?
but don't be a hero.
