21. Talks to Plants

There are ways in which the Superpower of Drawing Things to People's Attention is successful, and there are ways in which it is not, and this woman had clearly not read the Superhero Manual. Upon arrival in St. Louis, she and I were alone together in an elevator going up to the terminal. She was spitting and screaming because I was holding the doors open to let the other passengers catch up as she was flailing impotently at the Close Door button. And on this occasion I once again deployed my Superpower of Drawing Things to People's Attention and suggested that she perhaps familiarize herself with the underutilized – but highly effective – Superpower of Keeping Her Goddamn Mouth Shut.


What's your superpower?

next.
