incapable
just incapable of writing a straight sentence or framing a coherent phrase
which is a problem when translating
and the sun is shining and the outside beckons like a friend wanting me to come out to play
and I'm imagining superpowers and what I would do with them
and I'm dreaming of journeys like books and books like knives
and the swifts scream in an ecstasy of flight
but the page drags me back to its drear dead wood and black marks like an epitaph to my life
here he sat and died
where's my cape?

I found my cape in a bottle of pills. (I got three 8's for this post! That means I'm gonna get a bunch of MONEY!!!)
TAKEN it yet? Yes or No? ( )

Ow, the notion of you with your knickers worn over your tights.
Didn't you get the memo from The Incredibles' suit designer? No capes---NO CAPES!!!!

I think you're supposed to wear the cape over your shoulders and not your waist. It's not a blinking kilt or nappy, mate.
Jealous of peeps who win at lottery as never won at those. Of course, it would help if I actually bought some.
In the immortal words from 6th Sense ... I see stupid people.

Ah, not that sad. Just an epitaphy way of describing how life goes by while you're sitting at work having to work. But that, as they say, is life.
I'll pass your aplausos on to my barber

Which protects from within and without.
Give me six numbers between 1 and 49 and I'll buy a ticket for you.

Actually, I have never ever bought lottery tickets except for things like raffle tickets and lucky draw stuff. Wouldn't know how, really.
OK, how about 6 3 28 31 42 13? So if they won, you are actually gonna give me the dosh? *where's the cynical raised eyebrow smiley?*
Also, bit unnecessary to protect within, isn't it?

Any money won by these numbers will be placed in a trust fund until you are considered to be of responsible enough age to deal with the enormous sums involved.
I'll be trustee *cough*
The protection within is to protect those without.

Fluffy bloomers work if you want to make whoosh sounds.
(Just a suggestion)

Darn.
I appear to have put my underpants on over my stockings and now the suspenders have got all tangled up with my superhero utility belt (a la Batman...the belt, I mean, not the stockings...although I always had my doubts about Robin...).
Anyway. Can someone cut me free from all this, please?
Very, very carefully.

The poem seems to be depicting a teacher's accumulated agony in the middle of the term. Makes me want to play some movie in class for a change.

It's both painful and tiring especial at the thought that there are still two months left before the arrival of my summer vacation. The ages I teach are 18-20 this term.

For some reason I had the notion of you suspended by your suspenders. What superhero wears suspenders anyway?
Scaring is sending you the piccy of a head shot of me with a root perm. Terrifying is panning down and giving you an eyeful of the 80s shoulder pads. It got so bad in Manila we gals actually wore T-shirts with them shoulder pads and thought we all looked spiffy. Now THAT's terrifying.

Are you sure we're talking about the same suspenders here? You might want to check your American - British dictionary.
T-shirts with shoulder pads?
