ode to spiderman two : the movie

in awe of characters i'd seen
in awe of places they'd been
in awe of all in between;

the people who populate your landscape,
all seem to be curst by two heads.
two minds, two hearts: two states
of being alive, and yet so dead.

Old Harry is in dilemma,
what to do about Pete Parker;
To vanquish or to cherish?
why does the man seem squarish?

Peter is in tatters,
as he begins to lose his powers;
Shall he lose or gain the lady?
Shall he heroic be, or cowardly?

Then come us to the damsel,
whose face shall make the show sell.
She finds love from the moon,
and much in a swoon,
jilts the silly goon,
all for the spider's boon.
