Cammy

She strikes precisely where she sets her sights.
Slicing across stage with such speed—
It’s over before you begin the fight.
She’s too quick to catch and too smart to read.

She doesn’t move so much as she flies,
Since gravity can’t gain on Cammy.
Your eyes will fail you, it’s no surprise.
Because you can’t beat, you claim she’s spammy.

She’s so swift and sprays
Graffiti; plays 80s songs
 While kicking your ass.

Did the thwip do it?
Or maybe it was the throw?
No, just bad writing.

After a hard day
Of the super heroics,
You go to your home.

You call your love’s name.
She doesn’t answer; wonder why.
I think I’m hungry.

Let’s open the fridg—
Holy shit! A tired trope,
Stuffed here in my fridge.

Wow, just what I need
To motivate me, the hero.
Thank you, plot device.

No formal training, but still on cue.
Transforming and transcending too.
From fiery red to freezing blue—
She has the range, then aims, and “Pugh!”

She hits her mark each time with ease.
She turns bad roles into good chances.
She’s subtle like early Spring breeze,
Then shifts to swiftness, swapping stances!

Her brilliant mind lights the dark
Third world show you who they are
She’s both princess and Queen of snark
With power from ancestors far…

…She took the mantle once before.
But for her strength, she sought to soar.
The beads that bind all black kin
Are symbols of our pride within.
